You need to manage Rittichs starts. Overplaying him could be a huge factor in an early exit from the playoffs. So he was likely going to play against the Caps or Canes. With the early start tomorrow it’s basically back to back

I think the onus is on Treliving to fix the situation, manage it if you will. Smith is clearly not up to the task so get someone who is. I get Rittich and the need to manage his starts but enough's enough. Pony up and get a replacement level goalie already. We are probably talking about a 3rd or a 4th round pick here.
