Flames’ Kevin Bahl to Miss Remainder of Season With Ruptured Achilles

The Calgary Flames announced on Sunday that defenceman Kevin Bahl will miss the remainder of the season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The team placed the 26-year-old on long-term injured reserve following the injury, dealing a major blow to Calgary's defensive unit.

Head coach Ryan Huska expressed disappointment during Sunday's morning skate, calling Bahl their best player up to this point in the season. Bahl previously missed warmups ahead of Friday's game against the Anaheim Ducks, where Joel Hanley replaced him in the lineup.
