Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the New York Islanders gear up to face the Chicago Blackhawks on home ice, one player that stands out is David Rittich. His gloves have been sizzling recently, averaging 21.4 saves per game in his last five home appearances. His shot count has also been impressive with an average of 24.4 against him in the same period. It's clear that Rittich is a fortress in the crease, and the Blackhawks' heavy offensive pressure only increases his chances of racking up more saves. A testament to his resiliency, he's hit over 21.5 saves in 2 of his last 3 home games. It might've been a different story if the Blackhawks were a less aggressive team, but given their style, I'm confident that Rittich will be kept busy. Don't be surprised if he surpasses that 21.5 save line and further proves his mettle.
