Quick won the Cup in 2012 after playing 69 games, so 69 games seems safe. 71 games does seem too high, 69 seems just right.
Good news is that Rittich could play every single game down the stretch and only end at 60 games played, so well under that 69 limit. If he plays 25 out of 28 he will have the same GP as Crawford when he won the Cup. 22 out of 28 (79 percent of remaining games) and he plays the same as Holtby.
