Bahl scored a power-play goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets. - Bahl typically doesn't receive much power-play time, and he was likely out there late in the third period Tuesday to prevent a shorthanded rush from the Blue Jackets. The 24-year-old defenseman has earned a point in three straight games, including his first career power-play point with the goal Tuesday. He's up to nine points, 32 shots on net, 36 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 26 outings overall. |

Bahl notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins. - Bahl started and ended November with assists in consecutive contests, but he had just one other helper over the 11 games in between. The 24-year-old could be a fantasy force if he finds steadier offense, though that's not a particularly likely projection. He's at a modest eight helpers while adding 28 shots on net, 36 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 24 outings in a top-four role this season. |

Bahl notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. - Bahl ended a nine-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman has seen steady top-four minutes, but his contributions don't always show up in stats, as he is more of a shutdown blueliner. He's up to seven assists, 26 shots on net, 36 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 24 appearances. Bahl is well on his way to surpassing his career high of 11 points from last season with the Devils. |

Bahl managed an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Devils. - Bahl set up Blake Coleman for the first goal of the game.

Bahl posted an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets. - The helper was Bahl's third of the campaign. The 24-year-old has looked steady on a pairing with Rasmus Andersson for a surprisingly effective Calgary blue line. Bahl has added eight shots on net, 12 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while averaging 20:50 of ice time per game over eight contests, nearly 3:30 more than he saw per game in 2023-24 with the Devils. Bahl still figures to be more of a shutdown blueliner, though he can help in hits, blocks and PIM even when his offense is quiet. |

Bahl notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers. - Bahl has two helpers, four shots on net, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over three contests. The Flames have scored 16 goals as a team, so it's no surprise they're getting contributions from all over the lineup. Bahl is locked in as a top-four defenseman, though the bulk of his fantasy production will come from hits, blocks and PIM even if he's able to surpass his career high of 11 points from last season. |

Bahl notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks. - Bahl got on the scoresheet in his Flames debut, assisting on a Martin Pospisil goal in the third period. Acquired in the trade that sent Jacob Markstrom to the Devils, Bahl is set to fill a bottom-four role for the Flames this year. He had a career year in 2023-24 with 11 points, 151 hits, 103 blocked shots and 82 PIM in 82 games last season, so he could offer fantasy value in banger formats, but he's unlikely to score enough to help in standard leagues. |

Bahl (lower body) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against Winnipeg, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. - Bahl had a goal, 11 points, 82 PIM, 151 hits and 103 blocks in 82 appearances with the Devils last season. He averaged 17:24 of ice time in 2023-24, but he might see his role increase in Calgary after being traded over the summer. However, Bahl isn't expected to serve on either power-play unit, and he'll probably finish the campaign with under 20 points. |

Bahl (lower body) skated for the first time since training camp began last week, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. - Bahl seems to be making progress in his recovery, but it's currently unclear if he'll be able to get into any preseason action. The 24-year-old is expected to fill a major role for Calgary after being traded by the Devils in the Jacob Markstrom deal. Bahl could push for a top-four spot on Calgary's blueline, but he'll have competition in the form of fellow defenseman Jake Bean (undisclosed). Bahl recorded 11 points while playing in all 82 regular-season contests with New Jersey in 2023-24. |

Bahl (lower body) will not participate in either of Calgary's split-squad games against Edmonton. - Bahl played in all 82 regular-season games last year for the Devils, registering one goal on 63 shots, 10 assists and 151 hits. The 24-year-old blueliner still has plenty of time to get back to 100 percent ahead of Opening Night versus Vancouver on Oct. 9. Even if he is available for all 82 games this year, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on a lot of offensive output from the shutdown defenseman. |

Sept. 19, 2024 |
Bahl will not practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury. - Bahl was dealt to Calgary in June, with Jacob Markstrom going to New Jersey.

The 23-year-old was originally taken by Arizona with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, but ended up being included in the package that sent Taylor Hall to the Coyotes in 2019. Bahl might have a shot at a top-four spot in Calgary, but that is far from guaranteed. |

The goal was Bahl's first of the season, and he's picked up a point in two of the last three games.

Bahl produced an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche. - Bahl has warmed up a bit lately, earning three helpers over his last six outings, though he's also gone minus-1 in that span. The 23-year-old defenseman has seen top-four minutes as the Devils deal with a handful of injuries on the blue line, but Bahl remains more of a physical presence. For the season, he's managed eight assists, 40 shots on net, 39 PIM, 86 hits, 57 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through a career-high 48 games. |

The 23-year-old Bahl has played in more of a bottom-four role lately, but he may pick up some extra minutes while Dougie Hamilton (pectoral) is out. Bahl has five assists, 21 shots on net, 48 hits, 21 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 23 appearances. His usage is likely to remain defensive in nature. |

Dec. 1, 2023 |
Bahl recorded one blocked shot, one hit, two PIM and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers. - Bahl had an assist in the previous game to snap an 11-game point drought, but he has yet to score a goal this season, with three helpers accounting for his entire point total. Given his limited offensive capabilities and subpar minus-2 rating, Bahl's fantasy value is nearly nonexistent. |

If Bahl does miss out, Cal Foote figures to be the first in line to play versus the Wild. |

Bahl inked a two-year, $2.1 million contract with New Jersey on Monday. - Bahl chipped in two goals, eight points, 38 blocked shots and 64 hits in 42 games with the Devils last season.

Bahl was assigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports. - Bahl hasn't cracked the Devils' lineup since Oct. 24 against Washington -- he's been a healthy scratch for 13 straight contests -- so he could be in for an extended stay in the minors. The 22-year-old defender has gone scoreless through three NHL appearances this year. |

Oct. 12, 2022 |
Bahl was recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday. - Bahl will trade places with Simon Nemec who was shipped down to the minors in a corresponding move. While there is still time before puck drop against the Flyers on Thursday, it seems likely that Bahl will be the seventh defenseman for Opening Night. Even with his promotion, the 22-year-old blueliner probably shouldn't expect to play in significantly more games than the 17 he did last season. |

The 21-year-old Bahl played in all five of the Devils' games during their road trip, picking up a goal and three assists with 15 hits and a plus-2 rating in that span.

Bahl was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday. - Bahl has made just six appearances for the club this season in which he recorded five shots, eight hits and four PIM while averaging a meager 13:00 of ice time.

None |
March 23, 2022 |
Bahl was promoted from AHL Utica on Wednesday. - Although he's been recalled, at this point it isn't clear if Bahl will be in the lineup Wednesday versus Toronto. He's gone scoreless through four top-level appearances this year. |

The Devils returned Bahl to AHL Utica on Friday. - Bahl, who went pointless in four December games with New Jersey, had been on the taxi squad since Dec. 28.

Bahl was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday. - Bahl has yet to get into a game for the Devils this season, having appeared in seven games for the club last year in which he garnered two assists, five shots and 18 hits.
