Flames defenceman Kevin Bahl will be placed on the Injured Reserve and will require season-ending surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, the team announced Sunday.
The 26-year-old skated in 16 games for Calgary this season, recording a goal and two points while also leading the club in time on ice, averaging 21:56 of playing time per contest.
The 6’6”, 230-pound rearguard has appeared in 313 NHL contests, 165 of which have been played in a Flames uniform.
