Ortio hasn't played in almost a month, and has only played 2 games and 2 periods leads me to believe he'll clear. It would be risky taking a goal tender that hasn't played in that long. Where ever and when ever he plays he's going to be rusty. His timing and positioning in game situations is going to take time to get back after being out that long.

I think the best place for Ortio once again will be in the AHL, at least until Hartley trusts him enough to play him. And put him in a position to succeed. I'm not sure Hartley put him in the best situation by playing him against two tough play-off bound teams especially considering Ortio hadn't played in a meaningful game since late March/early April.
