Bergeron signed a two-way contract for the remainder of the season with Columbus on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending the last three campaigns playing in Switzerland's National League A, Bergeron returned to North America for 2016-17 and has scored nine points in 13 games for the AHL's Cleveland Monsters. The 36-year-old defenseman has a highly-specialized skillset as an offensive defenseman, producing 0.48 points per game in his 490-game NHL career. That being said, Bergeron is too often a liability in his own zone, which has limited his opportunities in the league. Bergeron will have to clear waivers to activate the contract, upon which he'll be eligible to be called-up by Columbus.
