Jonas Hiller (born February 12, 1982) is a Swiss professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has also played for the Anaheim Ducks, with whom he began his NHL career with in 2007 after going undrafted in any NHL Entry Draft. Hiller is one of only a handful of goaltenders in the NHL who catches right-handed. ==Playing career== While playing for HC Davos, Hiller won Switzerland's championship in 2002, 2005 and 2007, as well as the Spengler Cup in 2004 and 2006. In 2006–07, Hiller set a career-high win record with 28–16–0 in 44 games. Following the conclusion of the season, he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the NHL's Anaheim Ducks in May 2007. Hiller made his debut for the Ducks on September 30, 2007, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 4–1 in London, England. He allowed one goal on 23 shots for the win. Then-Ducks General Manager Brian Burke quickly felt that Hiller was ready to become full-time backup to Jean-Sébastien Giguère, and as a result, placed then-backup Ilya Bryzgalov on waivers, where he was claimed by the Phoenix Coyotes. Hiller went on to record a 2.06 goals against average (GAA) and .926 save percentage in 23 games in his first NHL season, 2007–08. Hiller recorded his first career NHL shutout in the 2008–09 season, defeating the Los Angeles Kings, 2–0. Following his strong regular season play, the Ducks named Hiller their starting goaltender for the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs over incumbent starter Jean-Sébastien Giguère. Hiller started his first career playoff game on April 16, 2009, recording a shutout over the San Jose Sharks in a 35-save performance. He and the Ducks ousted the Presidents' Trophy-winning Sharks in six games, marking only the fourth time in NHL history that the Presidents' Trophy-winning team has been eliminated in the playoffs' first round. The Ducks next matchup was the second-seeded Detroit Red Wings, a series which Detroit won in seven games. Nonetheless, many felt that it was only due to Hiller's goaltending that the Ducks were able to take the defending Stanley Cup champions to seven games. Midway through the next season, on January 30, 2010, Hiller signed a four-year contract extension with the Ducks going through to the 2013–14 season. The next day, the Ducks traded Jean-Sébastien Giguère to the Toronto Maple Leafs, cementing Hiller's status as the Ducks' starting goaltender. During the lockout-shortened 2012–13 season, Hiller helped the Ducks place second overall in the Western Conference. During the 2013 playoffs, however, the Ducks were eliminated in a seven-game series against the Detroit Red Wings for the second time in five years. On July 1, 2014, after his contract had expired with Anaheim, Hiller signed a two-year deal as an unrestricted free agent with the Calgary Flames at an annual average of $4.5 million per year. In his first season in Calgary, 2014–15, he emerged as the Flames' starting goaltender, partaking in most of the Flames' regular season games and seven of the Flames 11 2015 playoff games. In Game 6 in the first round of the playoffs, he was pulled off in favor for Karri Ramo after giving up 2/3 shots as Calgary Flames win against Vancouver Canucks in the best of 4-2. Jonas Hiller started off for Game 1 in the second round. He played well however, he was pulled in favour of backup Karri Rämö in Calgary's Round 2, Western Conference Semifinal series against Hiller's former team, the Anaheim Ducks, a series the Flames would ultimately lose in five games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jonas Hiller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
