In fitness to Rittich, he did mention that he expected Gio to go to the corner, so he could move the puck to him. I’m not sure what Gio was actually doing, Rittich tried to shield the puck with his body and the Flyer did a good job getting a stick on it and popping it out front.
Rittich did own it as his mistake, to be clear. Not saying it wasn’t.
Either way, he made so many huge saves he really stole this one
