Start your number 1 goalie, David Rittich.

Is he though?
Smith has better numbers in all of the last 5, 10, 15 and 20 appearances; that's starting to build a record that says otherwise.
For team building and cap reasons I hope Rittich takes back the net, and his last two starts (against inferior teams) certainly suggest he's possibly getting back on track, but there really isn't anything to suggest he's the starter at this point.
Fingers crossed that he becomes that guy though.
