As always with goalies, confidence is the most important factor in their performance. It's hard to be confident when you haven't been given a start in over a month and you haven't won a start in over 2 months. Hartley knows this and he tried to get Ramo's confidence back up a little with back to back starts despite some shaky play in the first start, but with so much at stake in each game, he can't afford to let Ramo figure his game out at the expense of team results.
Hiller is very confident at the moment, hence why he's playing more. He'll give you a couple big saves every game at key moments, which is why the team is winning more with him in net. Hiller isn't perfect, but as long as he's confident he's the more valuable goaltender.
