But when you consider he could have been in against Florida without equipment and got the win and that Ramo is the number one now the only reason I go back to Hiller is if Ramo needs more rest.
5 game trip and the Flames in a dog fight you can't afford a spotty goaltending performance to cost you a game against the league's 28th best team. Lose that one and suddenly you need to win 3 of 4 with the last stop in Dallas and the Hurricanes playing well.

I agree with everything,
I don't believe Hartley is running the 1A/1B duo this year but Hiller needs starts and out of the next 5. I feel most comfortable with Hiller in net against the Oilers. Especially with the back to back coming up next weekend, Hiller may need to play one of those. Going in Cold/Unmotivated would be almost a guaranteed loss.
