Joni Ortio is still playing. He's in rotation with the national team in the Euro Hockey Tour. He started against the Czechs yesterday in a 3-1 loss.

I don't know if he has a chance of making the world championship team. There's a 23-year-old guy named Antti Raanta in Finland who just won the championship and was the MVP of the league (94.33 sv% in the regular season, 95.45 sv% in the playoffs) who is likely to be on the team, and I don't know how the rest of the goalies available in Europe are rated by the management. On the other hand, I personally don't see any NHL goalies playing in the tournament, unless Lehtonen is suddenly super eager and healthy or Rinne feels hungry for more hockey (seems unlikely).
