If on the other hand Hartley is trying to get Hiller's confidence back so he can win a few more games for the Flames this year then I don't what to say.

There are 19 games left. There are enough games for both of them.
And yes, there are still enough games after that to throw Backstrom the bone or two that they promised him.
Oh no, the coach is playing Hiller: that must mean that he hates Ortio, or Ortio has no future with the team, or he is tanking, or...
... or maybe he has more than one goalie on his roster and they all need games.
