Kings' David Rittich: Struggles in third loss
David Rittich allowed three goals on 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.Rittich never received a lead to protect, as the Los Angeles Kings were able to twice erase one-goal deficits but never pulled ahead. The 32-year-old has allowed at least three goals in each of his three losses. He's at a 3-3-0 record, 3.09 GAA and .870 save percentage through six appearances. He's been a bit inconsistent, though he's been pressed into more work than expected early on due Darcy Kuemper previously missing time with a lower-body injury. Look for Kuemper to get the nod Wednesday at home against the Golden Knights.

Kings' David Rittich: Allows two goals in win
David Rittich stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.Rittich was fine, as both goals he allowed were scored by Mikael Granlund on the power play. Rittich enjoyed a five-start run as the Los Angeles Kings' No. 1 netminder, but that is likely to end with Darcy Kuemper (lower body) back from injured reserve. Through five starts, Rittich is 3-2-0 with 14 goals allowed on 111 shots. He should be able to put up better results in a backup role that's likely to yield more favorable matchups -- the 32-year-old has generally taken care of business against weak opponents.

Kings' David Rittich: First off ice Thursday

He has taken over the No. 1 job with the Kings as Darcy Kuemper remains out of action with a lower-body injury.

Kings' David Rittich: Bounces back Thursday
David Rittich stopped all but one of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montreal.Rittich, who allowed four goals on 14 shots and was pulled from Tuesday's 6-2 loss in Toronto, bounced back Wednesday to notch his first win. He was slow to react on Justin Barron's first-period wraparound goal that gave Montreal an early lead, but the 32-year-old netminder stifled the Habs after that. He is seeing increased playing time since primary goalie Darcy Kuemper (lower body) missed a second straight game Thursday. The Los Angeles Kings continue their seven-game, season-opening road sojourn Sunday in Anaheim.

Kings' David Rittich: Guarding road goal Thursday
David Rittich is set to start on the road against Montreal on Thursday, according to Zach Dooley of the Los Angeles Kings' official site.Rittich will look for a better result after allowing four goals on 14 shots en route to a 6-2 loss to Toronto on Wednesday. He logged just 32:22 of ice time in that game before being pulled, which is presumably part of the reason why the Kings decided it was okay to start him for the second time in as many nights. Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is on the shelf, so the alternative would have been to start Pheonix Copley if Rittich wasn't getting the nod. Copley also participated in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, stopping just 10 of 12 shots.
