Bean (undisclosed) will need to undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bean has played in just six of the Flames' last 21 games due to his undisclosed injury and now faces an extended stint on the shelf. Even when healthy, the Calgary native has only reached the 20-point threshold once in his career and doesn't offer enough category coverage to be more than a low-end fantasy option. If the Flames need some cap relief, Bean would be a good candidate to be shifted to long-term injured reserve, especially if he is ruled out for the rest of the year.

Bean (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bean has reportedly been dealing with this undisclosed injury for much of the season, but the team wants to take the time to fully evaluate him and is deciding to shut him down. When healthy, the 27-year-old blueliner has appeared in 16 games this year, generating one goal and one assist. Given his low-end fantasy value, Bean's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.

Bean (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bean continues to be evaluated for an unspecified injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. The Flames should know more about the extent of his injury later in the week, and it's not yet clear whether the 27-year-old will be available for Saturday's game against the Kings. Hunter Brzustewicz will make his NHL season debut against Detroit on Wednesday due to Bean's absence.

Bean (undisclosed) is undergoing an evaluation for an injury and won't be available for Monday's game against Buffalo, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bean played in two straight games after being a healthy scratch in six of the previous seven contests. He has one goal, two points, 16 shots on net and 29 blocked shots across 16 appearances this season. Due to Bean's absence, Brayden Pachal will play against the Sabres on Monday. The Flames also recalled Hunter Brzustewicz from the minors, but he will probably be a healthy scratch.

Bean scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Bean's first of the season. The 27-year-old blueliner is working on reclaiming steady time on the third pairing after a five-game stretch as a healthy scratch earlier in November. Bean has two points, 15 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 12 appearances this season. He is unlikely to produce enough offense to interest fantasy managers.

Bean registered an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Bean's first point of the season. The 27-year-old defenseman has played in 10 of the Flames' first 13 games and appears to have some job security as a left-shot defenseman while Zayne Parekh pushes Brayden Pachal for the other spot on the third pairing. Bean has added 11 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-7 rating through 10 appearances. His lack of offense makes him an uninspiring option for fantasy.

Bean (rest) will not play in the season finale versus Los Angeles on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Bean had two goals and five assists in 64 games this season, and he was pointless in his last 28 contests. Bean has one year remaining on his contract and should be a third-unit defenseman next season.

Bean was held off the scoresheet for the 27th consecutive game in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Bean was scratched three times in that span, but he's otherwise been a regular on the Flames' third pairing. His ice time is fairly limited, and so is his offense, as he's mustered just seven points across 63 outings this season. He's added 70 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 22 hits and an even plus-minus rating. Bean is likely to stay in the lineup to close out 2024-25, but he could be pushed for playing time next year if the Flames opt to integrate some prospects into the mix.

Bean's point drought reached 10 games in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames have a weak offense, so there aren't a lot of points to go around for a third-pairing defenseman like Bean. He's racked up 18 shots on net and a minus-4 rating during his drought, with his last point being a helper versus the Ducks on Jan. 30. For the season, Bean has seven points, 57 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 46 appearances. He will need to play at an acceptable level to fend off a challenge from Daniil Miromanov for playing time.

Bean notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Bean has a helper in two of the last three games. That follows his one-game stint as a healthy scratch Jan. 25 versus the Wild, so it looks like the 26-year-old got the message to step up his play. His 20:25 of ice time Thursday was his most in any contests this season. The blueliner has seven points, 39 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 36 appearances -- he's unlikely to put up enough in any area to help fantasy managers.
