Flames' Jonas Hiller: Inks deal with Swiss club
Jonas Hiller signed a three-year contract Tuesday to play in Switzerland for EHC Biel, Sportsnet reports.Hiller, who would've been an unrestricted free agent this summer, just completed the second year of a $9 million deal with the Calgary Flames, which proved to be a real money burner, as the netminder finished 2015-16 with an atrocious 3.51 GAA and .879 save percentage. He also had a losing record at 9-11-1. The awful year came as a surprise, since Hiller won 26 games thanks to a 2.36 GAA and .918 save mark in the previous campaign, his first go-around with the Flames after seven seasons with the Ducks. Still, at this juncture, the 34-year-old should be more comfortable returning to his native land to stop pucks. One would think the one-time NHL All-Star's career is over, but we'll see how he fares in the Swiss league before jumping to that conclusion.

Calgary general manager Brad Treliving has told Jonas Hiller the Flames will not bring him back next season, Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun reports.Hiller had an awful season with a 3.51 GAA and .879 save percentage. A team will likely sign him as a backup, but he certainly didn't make a case in 2015-16 for being an every-day starter.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Pulled on historic night for old team
Jonas Hiller was pulled after giving up three goals on five shots in just 6:51 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Anaheim.At least the beatdown wasn't all Hiller's fault, as the Ducks managed to shell Niklas Backstrom for five more tallies before the night was through. This was Anaheim's franchise-record 23rd straight home win against the Calgary Flames, so expectations shouldn't have been very high to begin with.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Pegged for Wednesday's start
Jonas Hiller will draw the start in Wednesday's game against the Ducks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.Hiller's last action came March 21 against the Maple Leafs, followed by three games off. The Calgary Flames continue to roster three goaltenders, and none have separated himself enough to be worthy of a workhorse role. The Swiss veteran will look to turn around an atrocious start to March (4.05 GAA, .862 save percentage) Wednesday, but faces a tough matchup against a Ducks club that's scored on him nine times over two games this season. it may be best to avoid him in both season-long and daily leagues despite the limited slate.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Extends losing streak
Jonas Hiller stopped 21 of 24 shots in Monday's loss to the Maple Leafs.The final score ended up looking a bit more lopsided, as Toronto tacked on a pair of empty-net goals, but it was still enough to move Hiller to 1-7-0 in his last eight starts. The 34-year-old has given up at least three goals in all seven of the losses in that span and is having by far the worst campaign of his career.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Perpetuates brutal season
Jonas Hiller's awful 2015-16 campaign continued in kind Thursday, as he allowed five goals on 34 shots during a 6-3 loss in Buffalo.That's three consecutive losses for Hiller, a period in which he's given up 14 goals; going back farther, he's allowed a painful 26 goals in his last seven outings. There's not a goalie in the league who's been worse than Hiller -- among qualifiers, he's dead last in both GAA and save percentage, and it isn't particularly close. Don't touch him in fantasy -- not even with a 10-foot pole duct taped to another 10-foot pole. Even in the friendliest-seeming matchups, Hiller can't be trusted.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Defending net Thursday
Jonas Hiller will be rolled out between the pipes Thursday for a road start against the Sabres, Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports.Calgary has virtually no chance of making the playoffs, which leaves Calgary Flames fans clamoring for 24-year-old Joni Ortio to defend the twine and pick up more experience. Besides, Hiller owns a 3.31 GAA on the road this season, so it's not like he has the advantage in that area. Hiller will be an unrestricted free agent this summer after commanding $4.5 million annually between 2014-16.

Flames' Jonas Hiller: Starting in net Monday
Jonas Hiller will start in net Monday against the Flyers, Roger Millions of Sportsnet Calgary reports.Hiller had yielded the net the last three games to Joni Ortio, but it appears he will get a chance Monday. The veteran has struggled as of late, recording just one win in his last five starts and allowing at least four goals in each of those losses. The way Calgary is playing makes it difficult to recommend Hiller or whoever is manning the team's net.
