Rittich will start Saturday in Arizona.

Rittich allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flames loss to the Blues last Saturday. With Cam Talbot starting vs. the Stars on Tuesday, it has been a full week since Rittich's last game. He stopped 34 of 37 shots in a come-from-behind overtime win in his first start vs. Arizona.

Kuemper will start Saturday vs. the Flames.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Coyotes win in St. Louis on Tuesday. Antti Raanta gave him another night off on Thursday but will turn to Kuemper on Saturday afternoon. He is 3-3-0 with a 1.86 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout in six starts in Arizona, so don't hesitate to start him vs. a Flames team that is 22nd in goal-scoring (2.76 GF/gm).

The Red Wings have recalled Joe Hicketts from Grand Rapids (AHL).

In addition to calling up Jonathan Ericsson on Wednesday, Hicketts will also join the Red Wings in California. Hicketts had one assist in four games with the Red Wings earlier in the season and leads all Griffins defensemen with nine points (0G / 9A) in 11 AHL games.

Kuemper will start Tuesday in St. Louis.

Kuemper had his worst outing of the season on Saturday, allowing four goals on 24 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Wild. Uncharacteristically, Kuemper has lost two straight while allowing a combined seven goals on 57 shots (.877 SV%). With Antti Raanta starting last night's shootout win in Washington, the Coyotes will come back to Kuemper in St. Louis. So far this season, Kuemper has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .920 SV% on the road.

Rittich allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flames win over the Devils on Thursday. Rittich has won four consecutive games while allowing a combined 10 goals on 139 shots (.928 SV%).

Kuemper will start Thursday vs. the Blue Jackets.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Coyotes win in Edmonton on Monday. Antti Raanta gave him the night off on Tuesday but the Coyotes will come right back to the red-hot Kuemper on Thursday. In his last eight starts, Kuemper is 7-1-0 with a 1.73 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout. You wouldn't dare bench him in any matchup but certainly not vs. a Blue Jackets team that is averaging the second-least goals per game (2.33).

Rittich will start Tuesday vs. the Coyotes.

Rittich stopped all 43 shots that he faced in the Flames shutout win in Columbus on Saturday. Cam Talbot gave him the night off on Sunday, but they'll come right back to Rittich tonight. He has been relatively inconsistent on a night-to-night basis but has won five of his last eight while posting a 2.55 GAA and .921 SV%, so he's a good option vs. an Arizona team that played last night.

Kuemper has won two in a row and six of his last seven (6-1-0) while posting a 1.70 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he faces an Oilers team that is 5-0-1 while averaging 3.83 goals per game on home-ice—a drastic difference from their 2.33 GF/gm on the road.

Kuemper will start Saturday vs. the Avalanche.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Coyotes win in Buffalo on Monday. Kuemper has been victorious in five of his last six starts while posting a 1.98 GAA and .929 SV%. He has simply been one of the best goalies in the NHL since the middle of last season and is a solid option against an Avalanche team without 2/3 of their top-line. Kuemper comes in at 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .955 SV% on home-ice.

He did not lose in regulation in Calgary but has struggled on the road, going 2-4-1 with a 3.66 GAA and .893 SV% in seven starts. Tonight he faces a Blue Jackets team that has lost three in a row and come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
