This is a very inopportune time for Hiller to get sick.

"There's not a chance in hell that I'm moving Jonas Hiller," Murray said on Tuesday evening. "I'm tired of hearing about the rumors. I can tell you Jonas is not going anywhere."

Hiller has won 14 straight starts and sits second in the NHL with 23 wins. With the Ducks having four NHL ready goalies, this may open the door for Viktor Fasth to be moved before the trade deadline.
