Kings' David Rittich: Good game not enough
David Rittich stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Sabres.Rittich was good while facing a light workload, but Jason Zucker's power-play tally early in the third period was the difference. Rittich has allowed one goal or fewer in four of his last five appearances (four starts), but he's taken two losses in that span. The 32-year-old slipped to 6-5-0 through 11 appearances while adding a 2.37 GAA and an .897 save percentage this season. Rittich will continue to see a heavy workload until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Kings' David Rittich: Set to start Saturday
David Rittich will protect the home goal versus the Red Wings on Saturday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.Rittich starting shouldn't come as a surprise -- he'll likely see a heavy workload while Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. Rittich took the loss in relief versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, but he won his previous two starts. Erik Portillo will serve as Rittich's backup, and considering the Los Angeles Kings don't have a back-to-back until after American Thanksgiving, Rittich may be in line for a significant run of starts.

Kings' David Rittich: On hook for loss in relief outing
David Rittich allowed a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche, who also scored an empty-netter.Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) left the game in the third period with the game tied at 2-2. Rittich entered and gave up the second goal of Mikko Rantanen's hat trick, which ended up being the decisive tally. Rittich is down to 5-4-0 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage through nine appearances (eight starts) this season. The 32-year-old would likely take over as the starting goalie if Kuemper misses time, while Pheonix Copley would be a candidate to be promoted from AHL Ontario.

The Kings have a two-game road trip up next with stops in Calgary on Monday and Colorado on Wednesday.

Kings' David Rittich: Allows one goal Tuesday
David Rittich stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.The 32-year-old netminder gave up a goal midway through the second period, but he simply needed to keep Minnesota at bay the rest of the way since the Los Angeles Kings scored five unanswered goals to seal the win. Rittich has made seven appearances this season, and while his results have been a bit inconsistent, his 2.77 GAA is decent. He's also gone 4-3-0 with an .884 save percentage, and that latter figure could use an improvement to give the Kings a bigger sense of security between the pipes every time Darcy Kuemper is not starting.
