DENVER — David Rittich was happy to help the Calgary Flames end their road trip on a high note. Rittich stopped 24 shots, Micheal Ferland and Mikael Backlund scored in the final minute of the second period, and the Calgary Flames beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Saturday night. “He didn’t look too nervous out there, I don’t know if he was but I’m sure getting this win will help him moving forward.”It was Rittich’s second NHL game. I thought we did a lot of standing around in the first period,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. It’s a big milestone for me going through some tough, and great times, too, here in Calgary,” Backlund said.
