In game three, Cam Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots, and it looks like Hiller decided it was time to change things up. Im the first three games, Talbot has a 5.30 GAA and a .861 SV%, which is very far from what we've seen from him this season. He had a 27-20-6 record, a .913 SV% and a 2.50 GAA.
Rittich, 31, took part in 196 NHL regular season games in his career. He played in only two games during the playoffs; oen with the Calgary Flames in 2019-20, and one with the Nashville Predators in 2021-22.
During the playoffs, such bets can pay, but they can also be a big risk. We'll know soon enough if Hiller made the right call, as game four is set to go down on Sunday night, at 22:30 pm E.T.
