The Flames are in a good spot between the pipes
It has been a long time since the Flames could feel as good as they do about their goaltending situation this late in the season. Well past the halfway point, both David Rittich and Cam Talbot have routinely given Calgary a chance to win games. With 33 games to go, head coach Geoff Ward is in a great spot when it comes to managing workload and riding the right guy (hopefully) come playoff time.
The story so far
It was hard to get a good read on this goaltending tandem for the better part of the first half, mainly because it wasn’t much of a tandem. Talbot starts were few and far between, while Rittich was excelling with the largest workload of his hockey career.
