If it were an injury or old age or shattered confidence it would be pretty obvious. But just from watching the goals he's let in the last two games they were just very typical "bad Hiller" games. He had some even worse games last year and bounced back from them with great play.

But how can you in good conscience give Hiller a run of start sto find his game? The 2 games he filled in when Ramo was out with the flu, were won in spite of his shaky goaltending. With Ramo at least looking like an NHL goaltender as of late, why would you want to take him out and give Hiller a shot that he might get up to Ramo's current level?
