I think Rittich not having a great game against Chicago might actually help Smith, takes a bit of pressure off in his head. Combine that with the break and I think he might actually play well today. I'm more concerned about the rest of the team, they always seem to be lackluster after a break, although more so when they play at home.
This ducks team is pretty bad and they played last night, so we should win this, but there are no guarantees in the NHL. Will be hard to stay up for this one but I'm hoping to, also hoping Czarnik scores because I like his speed and liked what I saw from him earlier and I think he deserves to be in the lineup.
