Rittich has faded in the second half both previous seasons, and if they don't want it to happen again they have to get him some rest.
Dude is on pace to start 65 games. Not ideal by any measure.

I agree. But this is a difficult week in which to find games for Talbot. If he starts tonight, that leaves Rittich with a six-day gap between starts. If he plays v. Dallas on Weds, then Rittich is left with eight days between games.
I think there are better opportunities to split the workload in the last two weeks of the month with a run of eight games in a 2:6 home/road split, and in December, when there are multiple home games v. Eastern teams.
