The Flames will likely try to fill Kevin Bahl’s void internally
On Sunday, the Calgary Flames announced that defenceman Kevin Bahl will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon prior to Friday night’s game with the Anaheim Ducks.
It’s a tough injury on many fronts, not the least of all because Bahl was having a really good season. Since joining the Flames from New Jersey in a 2024 off-season trade, Bahl has grown into a consistent, reliable and trustworthy defensive defender. If there was a lead to protect, a penalty to kill, or a tough opposition match-up, odds are Bahl was on the ice for it.
Now he’s not an option for those situations.
So who can fill the void?
