Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (illness) will be back in action on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. After missing seven games with an upper-body injury, Bahl was sidelined on Sunday against San Jose due to an illness. His return will bump Jake Bean out of the lineup. Bahl will eat up minutes on the top defensive pairing next to Rasmus Andersson. Bahl's strengths primarily emerge in the defensive zone, as he has registered 79 blocks and 67 hits in 47 games. However, he occasionally chips in on the offensive end as well, boasting two goals and 12 assists for the season.
Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (upper body) is considered week-to-week. He has missed two games with an upper-body injury, and Calgary is set to spend a few more contests without him. Bahl has improved his game significantly in 2024-25, posting 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in 47 outings with 51 shots, 79 blocks, and 67 hits. Jake Bean and Tyson Barrie have received playing opportunities during his absence. Playing in his first NHL game in over two months, Barrie produced a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive contest on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. He remains under evaluation for an undisclosed injury. Bahl has been impactful at both ends of the ice in 2024-25, recording 14 points (two goals, 12 assists), 79 blocks, and 67 hits in 47 games. With Bahl out, Jake Bean stepped into the lineup on Sunday against the Winnipeg Jets and registered an assist in a 5-2 loss. On Tuesday, Daniil Miromanov will head to the press box, with Tyson Barrie coming into the lineup. Barrie has become a non-factor in fantasy hockey in recent years, managing only two points (one goal, one assist) in nine appearances this season.
Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) will not play against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Bahl suffered an apparent injury when he absorbed a hit from Minnesota Wild forward Jakub Lauko in Saturday's 5-4 win. The 24-year-old is having a solid campaign in the Flames defense. He has posted a career-high 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in 47 games with 79 blocks and 67 hits. Jake Bean is expected to take Bahl's spot in the lineup on Sunday. Fantasy managers should ignore Bean, who has managed only five points (two goals, three assists) in 33 games.
Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (lower body) will join the lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Winnipeg. This will be his first taste of preseason action after entering training camp with a lower-body injury. Bahl is getting ready for his first campaign with the Flames. He moved to Canada from the New Jersey Devils in a trade involving goaltender Jacob Markstrom. The 24-year-old will have a chance to nail down a top-four spot in the Flames defense, but Bahl isn't an attractive fantasy piece. He finished with only 11 points (one goal, 10 assists) last season despite playing in all 82 regular-season games. Jake Bean (lower body) is also expected to play on Wednesday, meaning the Flames blue line is beginning to get healthy for the start of the campaign.
Defenseman Kevin Bahl was traded by the New Jersey Devils to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. The 23-year-old was part of a deal that sent Jacob Markstrom the other way. Bahl moves on from New Jersey after skating in 148 games with the Devils. He featured in all 82 regular-season games this term, posting 11 points (one goal, 10 assists) with 63 shots on goal, 103 blocks, and 151 hits. Bahl, who was a second-round draft pick in 2018, should compete for a top-four spot in Calgary.
Kevin Bahl Signs Two-Year Contract Extension To Remain In New Jersey
On Monday, New Jersey Devils defenseman Kevin Bahl signed a two-year, $2.1 million contract extension. This extension will keep him in New Jersey for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. Last regular season, Bahl skated in 42 games and collected two goals, six assists, 27 shots on goal and 35 penalty minutes while posting a plus-4 rating. In the previous three seasons, the defenseman has played in 66 contests. He was initially selected as the 55th overall pick by the Arizona Coyotes in the second round of the NHL Entry Draft in 2018. The 23-year-old will start his fourth season as a Devil in October.
