Goalies
David Rittich, LA vs. DAL (27% rostered)
Rittich has more than ably stepped in between the pipes with Darcy Kuemper sidelined. He hasn't faced more than 22 shots in any of his last six starts, and Saturday was just the second time in that span he allowed multiple goals. Rittich is now 9-6-0 with a 2.48 goals-against average (GAA) and an .887 save percentage (SV%) through 16 appearances (14 starts. His GAA and SV% are adversely affected by two poor starts in which he allowed 13 goals on 51 shots. Stripping those two outings out results in a much more appealing save percentage, which should be what fantasy players focus on.
