To the point though, yes he played well. However, he didn't win and Hartley's rule has generally been win or change.
As I have said several times, I think Hartley is just playing two goalies and Hiller is getting some work (against a bottom feeder team).
I think there is absolutely nothing to see here and I think everyone's angst is unjustified.
And no, Hartly is not going out of his way to not play him - unless you think Ortio should get every start for the rest of the season, which I think is silly.

You suggest save percentage is silly but then suggest wins should be the deciding factor? When the team scored a single goal?
Not that this has actually been Hartley's way to decide a starter. He has been all over the place. First a rotation. Then Ramo getting a string to "get him going." then Hiller getting a similar string. Now it's a minor hockey rotation apparently. There has been almost no consistency in management of the goaltenders.
And I am not suggesting Ortio get every start. I am suggesting that since he played well (which you admit he did) he should get another start. It is almost inexplicable that he isn't. But many will try anyway.
