According to the Calgary Flames, blue-liner Kevin Bahl requires surgery for a torn Achilles tendon that will sideline him for the remainder of the season.
The organization revealed the update on Sunday, confirming the 26-year-old defender is being moved to injured reserve.
The physical issue occurred Friday during pre-game preparations prior to Calgary taking on the Anaheim Ducks. Joel Hanley stepped into the lineup to replace him during the Flames’ 5-3 defeat.
Bahl’s most recent appearance came Wednesday, when he skated for 20 minutes and 51 seconds throughout Calgary’s 2-1 loss in overtime to the Seattle Kraken.
Hailing from New Westminster, B.C., the six-foot-six, 230-pound rear-guard has recorded a single goal, one assist, and 12 penalty minutes through 16 contests for Calgary in the current campaign.
During the 2025-26 season, he posted four goals alongside 14 assists and 47 penalty minutes with the franchise.
