This week no back to backs, and they seem to be using Rittich for the tougher game and the Smith for the weaker opponent, or Rittich for both.

At this point its still win and you are in as far as we know. Smith has lost his last 3 starts (with great stats in 1 of the games). Until we see someone lose and keep the net - hard to tell.
That said - Rittich has gotten most of the tough games lately excluding the Jets - Vegas x 2, Toronto.
