Calgary Flames Need To Give Joni Ortio A Run

This year has been one of many goaltenders for the Calgary Flames. After his play-off heroics last year, it seemed a forgone conclusion that Jonas Hiller was the bonafide number one. Not quite.

An injury to him saw the rise of Karri Ramo, who had actually been demoted to the minor-league team at that point. What followed was a run of form from the Finn in the Calgary Flames home-game winning streak that saw him lay claim to a definite backup spot anywhere in the NHL. He then goes down with a season-ending injury and the goaltending spot is thrown wide open once more.
