A .911 has Rittich tied with Hellebuyck at 10th of the 23 goalies who have started at least as many games.
Of the top 23 goalies in starts in 2014-15, the 10th best SV% was Luongo at .921
So that is who you should compare Rittich to.
Ramo was 29th of 37 who started as many games.
Not close.

In 14-15, the Flames ranked 14th in goals against.
This year they rank 13th. They just also happen to be 3rd in goals for, which means they have a legit shot to win it all.
But this is goaltending of about the same consistency as 14/15. At times brilliant, often competent, and sometimes head scratchingly bad. Times two guys.
It's going to be on Peters to sense who's hot and know when to change them out, but as this point I don't think either guy deserves much leash.
