IMO SV% can't account for game situation. A goal against up by 2-3 goals does not have the same value as a goal against in a tie game - players just aren't as dialed in. I'd like to see the stats for tie games or one goal situations.

I also think the Flames' defensive play has been poor lately. Like, all of January I thought we were an ugly team to watch that just had the Midas touch on offense.

On that note, I feel like Rittich is the most shutout averse goalie I've seen in a while. He can dominate a game but still let in that one goal to hurt his shutout bid. Or maybe that's this team's defensive play.

Where he goes from here speaks to his ability to shore up his weaknesses and get back to his early season prowess, or at every least halt the slide and maintain the upper half goaltending statistics he’s posted.

I agree, but I am skeptical of Sigalet's ability to get him there.
