Karri Ramo News
The Flames have placed Karri Ramo (undisclosed) on injured reserve.

Ramo was forced from Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury after a collision with teammate Raphael Diaz. There is no word on the nature or severity of the injury, but a more detailed injury report should be released in the next 24 hours. Joni Ortio has been recalled to replace Ramo for the time being.

Ramo (undisclosed) left Wednesday’s game and did not return.

Ramo left the game after following a collision with teammate Raphael Diaz. With Ramo out, Jonas Hiller manned the crease. Joni Ortio is not on the ice with Adirondack (AHL) this morning, so the belief is that he has been recalled, which is obviously not a good sign for Ramo’s health.

Ramo was pulled after allowing four goals on 13 shots in the Flames loss to the Rangers on December 16th. Jonas Hiller has started the last seven games, but Ramo will be back between the pipes tonight vs. Detroit. Ramo is 4-3-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .889 SV% at the Scotiabank Saddledome this year.

Ramo did not practice on Thursday because of an illness; expected to backup on Friday.

Jonas Hiller will start in goal tomorrow vs. the Stars. Ramo is expected to take part in the morning skate and serve as Hiller’s backup. The Flames have a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, so if Ramo is healthy he could start Saturday vs. Vancouver.

Ramo allowed four goals on 19 shots in the Flames 4-3 loss to the Sabres on Thursday. After a seven-game winning streak, Ramo has dropped his last two starts while allowing seven goals on 56 shots (.875 SV%). He will take on a Rangers team who have won three games in a row while outscoring their opponents 11-4.

Ramo starts Thursday vs. Buffalo.

Ramo allowed three goals on 30 shots in Saturday’s loss to the Sharks. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for Ramo, who gets the call in the first game of the back-to-back and draws the easier matchup as he goes up against the Sabres. Buffalo is playing much better hockey as of late, but Ramo should still make for a great start.

Ramo allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Flames win over the Avalanche on Thursday. He has won seven games in a row with a 2.27 GAA and .922 SV%—October 25th was the last time Ramo started a game that the Flames lost. Tonight he faces a Sharks team who have won three in a row while averaging five goals per game.

Ramo gets his third straight start on Tuesday.

Ramo stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Flames 3-0 shutout win over the Coyotes on Saturday. He has posted back-to-back shutouts while stopping all 58 shots. Tonight he will face Arizona again, this time at home—while it would be unfair to expect a third straight shutout, he makes for a nice spot-start.

Ramo gets the nod vs. Arizona.

Ramo stopped all 32 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win over the Sharks on Wednesday. The strong performance has earned him back-to-back starts as he gets set to take on the Coyotes tonight. He has won three in a row with a 1.98 GAA and .930 SV%.

Ramo stopped 20 of 22 shots in a overtime loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. After opening up the season with two wins, Ramo has dropped each of his last two starts while posting an .896 SV%. With Jonas Hiller playing brilliantly, Ramo will need to continue to keep the puck out of his cage, but needs to rack up W's.

Ramo will start vs. the Lightning on Tuesday.

Ramo allowed three goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Blue Jackets on Friday. It was Ramo's first loss of the season, but after sitting on Saturday vs. the Jets, the Flames will continue their goalie rotation by giving Ramo the start on Tuesday. The Lightning have one of the best offences in the league, so Ramo makes for a risky start.

The Flames have been alternating Ramo and Jonas Hiller to this point and it is Ramo's turn in the rotation. He has won each of his first two starts while posting a 1.92 GAA and .934 SV%.

Ramo starts as expected on Tuesday.

Ramo was great in his season debut. He stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Oilers. Ramo goes tonight and Jonas Hiller will go tomorrow, so it looks like the Flames will continue to split up the starts until one of the netminders forces his way into the number-1 job.
