Berry will report to the Milwaukee Admirals, Nashville’s AHL affiliate.
Berry, 26, was scoreless in five games with the Rampage this season. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound blueliner has posted 21 goals and 46 assists for 67 points in 234 career AHL games with San Antonio, Utah, Portland and Hershey since his rookies season of 1998-99.
