Since Ramo went down, Ortio's starts have been impressive:
CGY @ BOS: .920, 2GA
OTT @ CGY: .800, 5GA
NYI @ CGY: .941, 2GA
CGY @ LAK: .946, 2GA
If you look past the Ottawa game, which I still don't pin on Ortio's goaltending as the weak point of that game - he has put together a very strong stretch of starts, and deserves the opportunity to continue to play this year in hopes of a contract next year.
If Ortio was getting ANY goal support, he'd 3-1-0 over the last 4 games.
Ignore that Ottawa game - Ortio has a .936 S% and a 2.00 GAA in the 3 other starts.
We'll see how he does over this next little stretch, but 3 very good games should not be thrown out the window because of 1 rough game where his team fell apart in front of him.
