Since Jan 1, in situations where the score of the game is tied or within 1 goal, here are their save percentages / GAA / TOI:
Rittich - 0.923 / 2.18 / 632:36
Smith - 0.897 / 3.05 / 571:25

And let's look at the caliber of competition...
Since Jan 1, the GPG average of the teams that each goalie faced (weighted per 60), gives us an expected GAA, based on quality of competition, of:
Rittich: 3.06 (actual GAA 2.84)
Smith.: 2.90 (actual GAA 2.81)
So both goalies had a GAA lower than the average of what their competition was expected to generate (which is to be expected, because the Flames are better than average defensively). However, we can see that Rittich's was significantly better (0.22 better vs 0.09)
