I think they had to give talbot the next start if he's feeling it like that.

The problem with "riding the hot hand" is that the other goalie can end up losing rhythm in his starting routine. Rittich has been tagged by the team as their #1 goalie, and he will need to be kept sharp especially if the team has designs on a playoff run. Ideally both goalies are playing well simultaneously, and so far Rittich has looked consistently very good in almost every game. I would bet the Flames go back to Rittich on Saturday regardless of tonight's result.
