I'm just guessing here. Markstrom wanted to go back in, Ward thought if we get the next one early it's 4-2 and who knows what can happen, especially if Markstrom shuts the door. After it's 5-1 it's really really over and Rittich is in.
Personally I would have put Rittich in to start the 3rd, but I do see a reason why they put Markstrom back out.
