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.

Hiller needs to get on some sort of hot streak for the Flames to make the playoffs. Having him play after a shutout gives him the ability to have a good stretch. Ramo has never proven he can carry a team to the playoffs by himself and I don't expect this year to be any different.
