The Calgary Flames are the latest team in the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs to make a change in net.
Coach Bob Hartley announced on Friday afternoon that Karri Ramo will get the start in Game 2 of their second round playoff series in Anaheim on Sunday night, replacing Jonas Hiller.
Hiller had a promising start to the postseason through the first five games of the Flames' opening round series against the Vancouver Canucks, but has been pulled in each of his past two starts, surrendering five goals on only 17 shots during that stretch.
He was benched just seven minutes into the first period of the Flames' series clinching win in the first round after giving up two goals on three shots and then watched as Ramo held off the Canucks and opened the door for another Calgary come-from-behind win to advance to the second round. He followed up that performance by giving up three goals on 14 shots in only 22 minutes duirng their Game 1 loss to the Ducks on Thursday.
Ramo started 31 games for the Flames during the regular season and finished with a .912 save percentage.
In three postseason appearances this season he has allowed five goals on 42 shots.
