Calgary Flames' goaltender David Rittich is expected to start in the upcoming game despite playing the night before. Rittich recently replaced Darcy Kuemper during a game against the Oilers, likely due to rest considerations. Rittich has a strong track record against the Seattle Kraken, holding a 3-1-0 record with a .923 save percentage and 1.97 goals-against average, including a previous victory on November 23rd.
The Seattle Kraken currently lead the season series against the Los Angeles Kings 2-1. However, Rittich's history of success against the Kraken suggests he could be a valuable fantasy hockey waiver wire pickup for the upcoming games.
