NHL Note - Calgary Flames Rittich, David

Dec 18, 2017 - 8:07 AM G David Rittich stopped 16 shots and came close to getting his first shutout in just his fifth NHL game, a 6-1 win over Vancouver on Sunday. "It was like skating practice for me, not a lot of shots because guys played really well and blocked a lot of shots," Rittich said. "I don't really care about shutouts. For me, it's the score after the game. We got two points."

Rittich was assessed a penalty in the first period for throwing his stick during a play at the side of the net.
