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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Won't play Wednesday Bean (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Bean continues to be evaluated for an unspecified injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup Wednesday. The Flames are expected to 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 is expected to enter the lineup and make his season debut Wednesday.

Dealing with injury 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.

Impact 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.

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

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

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact Bean had two goals and five assists in 64 games this season, and was pointless in his last 28 contests. Rooney is slated to become a UFA at the end of the season and he may have played his last game as a Flame.

APRIL 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Goes quiet on offense again Bean's point drought reached 10 games in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The Flames have a weak offense, so there's often not 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.

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

Impact 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.

Posts helper Sunday Bean logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Bean was scratched Saturday versus the Wild in favor of Joel Hanley, but there was room for both in the lineup due to the absence of Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old Bean has just three points over 22 appearances since the start of December, and his scratch Saturday indicates his playing time could drop once the Flames' defense is fully healthy again. For the season, he has six points, 37 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 34 outings.

Finds twine Monday Bean scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The goal was Bean's first point in eight games since the holiday break, and it stretched the Flames' lead to 4-1. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't often gotten involved on offense while filling a third-pairing role this season. He's at two goals, three helpers, 31 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 29 appearances.

Picks up assist Saturday Bean recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Bean has followed up four straight healthy scratches with 10 consecutive games in the lineup. The 26-year-old earned his first point since Oct. 24. versus the Hurricanes when he set up Blake Coleman's second-period tally. Bean has been limited to a bottom-four role with four points, 26 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 21 appearances. His lack of physical play and minimal scoring upside makes the defenseman a non-factor for most fantasy formats.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Loses out on regular role Bean has been scratched for three straight games after sitting out Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Impact It's not his longest stint in the press box -- he opened November with a four-game stretch out of the lineup. Bean played in six of the first seven games this season, earning three points in that span, but he's played just five times since Oct. 26. The defenseman has added 10 shots on net and 10 blocked shots across 11 contests. Bean will compete with Joel Hanley, Brayden Pachal and Tyson Barrie for a spot on the third pairing throughout the campaign.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets goal in loss Bean scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The goal was Bean's first of the campaign. The 26-year-old defenseman has played in six of the Flames' first seven games, earning three points, six shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating from a third-pairing role. The Calgary native isn't seeing power-play time, and any drop in his play could open the door for Tyson Barrie or Joel Hanley to take his spot in the lineup.

Assists in consecutive outings Bean logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Bean has a helper in each of his first two games as a Flame. He's added three blocked shots, two shots on goal and a plus-1 rating while filling a third-pairing role. Bean doesn't have a path to consistent power-play time, so he is unlikely to be able to sustain his recent success on offense. He's still doing enough to keep his place in the lineup, though he was tagged for five giveaways Saturday, which could be a problem if he can't get it under control.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs helper Wednesday Bean recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Bean helped out on Jonathan Huberdeau's go-ahead goal midway through the third period. This was Bean's Flames debut after the Calgary native signed with his hometown team as a free agent in July. The oft-injured defenseman is set to fill a third-pairing role, though he could rotate out of the lineup for Joel Hanley on occasion. Bean was limited to 13 points with 76 shots on net and 110 blocked shots in 72 appearances with the Blue Jackets last year, so he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value.
