Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) – The Colorado Avalanche have obtained goaltender Reto Berra from the Calgary Flames in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the team announced prior to Wednesday’s trade deadline.<\/p>\n
Berra posted a 9-17-2 record with a 2.95 goals-against average in 29 games for the Flames this season, his first in the NHL. The Swiss native had spent the past seven seasons in the top-level league in his home country prior to signing a one-year contract with Calgary last April.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old joins a crowded goaltender situation in Colorado, which already has Semyon Varlamov and veteran Jean-Sebastian Giguere on the roster, though Giguere is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at season’s end.<\/p>\n
To replace Berra on the active roster, the Flames recalled goaltender Joey MacDonald from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League. MacDonald appeared in seven games for Calgary earlier this season, going 3-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
