Rittich to Start Tuesday for Islanders; Sorokin Resting Nagging Injury

David Rittich will start in goal for the New York Islanders at home against New Jersey on Tuesday. He is coming off a 30-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to Buffalo. Rittich holds a 7-3-2 record with one shutout, a 2.53 GAA, and a .908 save percentage across 12 appearances this season. Marcus Hogberg has been recalled from AHL Bridgeport as his backup, allowing Ilya Sorokin to rest a nagging undisclosed injury.
