EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- David Rittich will be the starting goaltender for the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.

Rittich replaces Cam Talbot, who had a 5.31 goals-against average and .891 save percentage in the first three games. Talbot allowed 13 goals in the Kings' two losses, including Friday night's 6-1 loss that put the Oilers up 2-1 in the series.

Kings interim coach Jim Hiller told reporters during Sunday's morning skate that he informed the goalies of his decision Saturday.
