Since Ramo has been assigned to the IR, I would suspect that Ortio will get a chance a look doing mop-up duty on Hiller one night, and if he does well there, will get the next start.
It all depends on how Hiller does. If Hiller continues playing well, Hartley will ride him. Hartley rode Ramo pretty hard when he didn't have confidence any longer in Hiller.
If Ramo is out for a month, I would anticipate Ortio gets a couple of games in - if he does well, Hartley will put him in for a couple more, if he does poorly, that is all he will get. Goalies are difficult to work in when a team is still chasing the playoffs.
