Default Who's in goal tomorrow?

Does Rittitch get the start cause he was solid and won the last game or does Peters go back to the veteran Smith and hope he can get his mojo back? I would guess Rittitch but I've been wrong many times before.

Rittich should be treated as the starter. Smith has proved time and time again he's not an NHL starting goaltender this season.

It’s anyone’s guess, but I’d think it’ll be Rittich. Win and you’re in.

Can't predict the starter anymore with Peters' recent decisions. It could be either guy. I'd go with Rittich against New Jersey and then give Smith the Rangers and Rittich the Jets on the back to back since the Jets are the better team and might destroy Smith's confidence further.

Without regard to whether he plays, you can be sure Smith will be mentioned countless times by the radio PBP guy.

I am starting to think they go Smith. Softball vs NJ.

Then split the back to back.

I'd go with Rittich tomorrow. Then, Smith on Friday against the Rangers and Rittich again on Saturday against the Jets.

"Good win for Rittich. But Smith, let me tell you, he just looks better and better. I watch this guy more than any one. And he's coming into form, you can see it in practice, you can see it in his posture. You can see it in the way he rides the bike in the gym. I know I've said this for 6 months, but just look at this specific batch of games from this date to that date. It speaks for itself. The facts can't be refuted. Rittich is the goalie of the future yes, but Smith is the goalie of the now! Just look at that game last week that he lost but DIDN'T give up a terrible goal that would make the building collectively cringe. Just look. So impressive. And I mean, look at his puck handling abilities. It's an asset and nobody in the room will tell you otherwise, and being on the same team as the guy has nothing to do with it! Yeah sometimes it costs them games, but ON THE WHOLE, it does wayyy more good than not, and all the coaches might not say it, but trust me, they believe it to be true. I would know."
