He also appeared in 13 games with the Whalers that season before being traded to the Calgary Flames.[1]
Domenichelli appeared in 96 games over four seasons with the Flames before being traded, along with Dmitri Vlasenkov, to the Atlanta Thrashers during the 1999–00 season in exchange for Jason Botterill and Darryl Shannon. The best scoring season of his NHL career during the 2000–01 season with the Thrashers, scoring 15 goals.
