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.

Precisely why we need to be playing Hiller right now.
Never underestimate the Oilers when it comes to tanking, they are world champs. We need all hands on deck right now.
