Coyotes Acquire Marc Cheverie from Panthers for Justin Bernhardt

The Phoenix Coyotes have announced that they have acquired goaltender Marc Cheverie from the Florida Panthers in exchange for center Justin Bernhardt. In 15 games last season with Rochester of the AHL, Cheverie posted a 2-7-1 record, with a 3.91 GAA and a .888 save percentage. He also appeared in 30 games with Cincinnati of the ECHL, posting a 13-9-5 record, three shutouts, a 3.11 GAA, and a .896 save percentage. Bernhardt played in 47 games last season with Las Vegas of the ECHL, scoring six goals and 19 assists for 25 points. This is really just a depth trade for both teams, as Cheverie and Bernhardt will likely spend all of next season in the minors.
