I believe that Rittich can get the job done and IMO you don't have to look past his W/L record for that:
20-4-5 is pretty amazing and even if you slot the best goalie in the world in his place it's unlikely the record get much better than that. It's hard to fault him in any of the shootout losses and we don't have to worry about that in the playoffs.
Goalies will have ups and downs but one thing for certain is that W/L record. I was actually surprised it was a good as it is when I took the time to check it out.
I don't think he's a weakness at all.
