Oh Calgary. Always known to overplay goalies.

Flames are on a 5 game home stand and they had a day off between games. There's no reason whatsoever why Rittich shouldn't get the start. Flames can pad their lead in the Pacific tonight with a win, and then Smith can start on Sunday against the Coyotes. That would give Rittich 4 days off to rest up before the Buffalo game on Wednesday.
