I don't think Hartley personally cares about Ortio's contract status. He's not going to base his decisions on who to start based on that just as he let Ortio rot as the 3rd goaltender for the first few months of the season. It's possible Treliving has discussed this with him but there's still 20 games left so plenty of time for him to get 7 starts.
