Rittich will defend the home crease versus the Bruins on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

The two teams are in Quebec City for the exhibition contest. Rittich had a solid 2023-24 campaign, going 13-6-2 with a 2.15 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season games with the Kings as the backup to Cam Talbot. Talbot has moved on to Detroit, with LA acquiring Darcy Kuemper in the offseason, as their presumptive No. 1 goaltender this season.
