The Kings enter the action on Wednesday as -155 home favorites against a Sabres club that will be without Tage Thompson (upper body).

After Darcy Kuemper shut out the Predators on Monday, the Kings will turn to Rittich in goal for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Tuesday.

Rittich will make his second start in as many nights after getting the nod in Toronto on Wednesday. Rittich struggled against the Maple Leafs before being replaced by Pheonix Copley in the second period, allowing four goals on just 14 shots as the Kings suffered a 6-2 defeat. With Darcy Kuemper sidelined, the Kings will be hoping Rittich can regain his form from a season ago sooner rather than later. He has a good chance of securing his first win of the season tonight as the Kings find themselves as -135 favourites in Montreal.

With Darcy Kuemper (lower body) sidelined for at least one game, Rittich assumes the role of the Kings' starting netminder on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 32-year-old Rittich has not played yet this season but will attempt to replicate his stats from a season ago when he emerged as a viable option in the net for the Kings, posting a 2.15 GAA and .921 SV% in 24 contests (13-6-3). The Kings enter action as +158 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.

The 31-year-old is entering his ninth NHL season and has a career record of 92-57-24, 2.78 GAA and .906 SV% with five separate franchises.

Despite stopping 12 of 13 shots against (.923 SV%) in a tough 1-0 loss in Game 4, Los Angeles will turn back to David Rittich on Wednesday for Game 5 vs. Edmonton. The 31-year-old appeared in his most regular season games played since 2019-20 as he had 22 starts and a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 SV%.
