Rittich allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flames win over the Golden Knights on Sunday. The win snapped a brief two game losing skid for Rittich, who is 3-2-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .908 SV% in his last five starts. Rittich’s play has dropped off a bit recently, but he is a must-start on home-ice vs. a Devils team that lost six in a row (0-5-1).

DeAngelo went on an extended run without being scratched but will come out of the lineup on Monday. DeAngelo has picked up 11 assists in his last 13 games but is expected to be replaced by Frederik Claesson in Edmonton.

Clutterbuck has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. Philadelphia on March 3rd. He will replace Michael Dal Colle in the lineup and skate in his usual spot on the fourth line.


Palmieri missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday in Washington. Palmieri, who will skate on the top line with Travis Zajac and Kenny Agostino, has 26 goals and 22 assists (48 points) in 63 games this season.
