Rittich allowed three goals on 24 shots for his third-straight loss as San Jose got the best of him in his previous start. The 30-year-old Jets' backup has been decent when called upon, with his 9-6-1 record, 2.57 GAA and .906 SV%. He will face the Carolina Hurricanes, who haven't scored in two-straight games but are still third in the NHL in shots per game (35.1).
