Calgary Flames defenceman Kevin Bahl will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, the team announced Sunday, according to Sportsnet Staff.

Bahl suffered the injury Friday before warmups for Calgary’s game against the Anaheim Ducks. He was ruled out, and Joel Hanley took his place in the lineup.

The 26-year-old had appeared in all 16 Flames games this season before the injury, averaging 21 minutes 56 seconds of ice time and recording one goal and one assist.

Calgary acquired Bahl from the New Jersey Devils in 2024 in the trade that sent goaltender Jacob Markstrom to New Jersey. The New Westminster, B.C., native is in his seventh NHL season and has recorded 12 goals and 53 assists in 313 career games between the two clubs.
