Calgary will be a team that rides Rittich in the post season but you need a strong capable back-up. Last season the Capitals didn't start the playoffs with Holtby. The Penguins switched Fleury and Murray two years ago, rode Murray mostly the year before. Scott Darling got five starts for the Hawks in 2015.

The contenders this year are not in much, if any better shape than Calgary in net. Ignoring Subban's 9 shot 20 minute shutout in relief, he's sub-.900. Aaron Dell has a sparkling .891 save%. His last full game he lost badly against the same AZ team that Smith beat. I don't think Domingue is that good either. Broissoit has decent stats but only 13 starts. I doubt the Jets would be very comfortable with him.
