Jonas Hiller came in to relieve Karri Ramo after an injury took the Flames' goalie out of the game, but the cold start didn't stop Hiller from prevailing over the Sharks in a shootout.

Jonas Hiller is heading home.

The Switzerland native and former Calgary Flames goaltender signed a three-year deal with EHC Biel-Bienne of the National League A on Tuesday.

Hiller, 34, struggled this season for the Flames. In 26 games, Hiller went 9-11-1 with a 3.51 goals-against average and .879 save percentage.

Calgary general manager Brad Treliving said at his year-end press conference that Hiller would not be returning to the club next season.

EHC Biel finished last in the NLA and allowed a league-high 175 goals.

Hiller played seven seasons with the Anaheim Ducks before joining the Flames for the last two years. He also represented the Ducks at the 2011 NHL All-Star Game.

Hiller, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, earned $4.5 million over the last two seasons with Calgary.
