Jake Bean - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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 • 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.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Wednesday Bahl (lower body) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Bahl sustained a lower body injury during last Wednesday's exhibition game against the Canucks, but he should be back in action against Winnipeg. The 26-year-old made 72 regular-season appearances with Columbus last year, tallying four goals and 13 points.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Bean (lower body) isn't practicing Saturday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

Impact It's the third practice Bean will miss since suffering the injury in a preseason game against Vancouver earlier this week. The 26-year-old blueliner signed a two-year deal with the Flames after tallying four goals and 13 points with the Blue Jackets last season.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Held out Thursday Bean (undisclosed) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session for maintenance reasons.

Impact Bean's absence from practice comes after he was injured in the third period of Wednesday's preseason clash with Vancouver. The fact that the team referred to his absence as maintenance should clear the way for him to return to action ahead of either Saturday and Monday's preseason matchups with Vancouver and Seattle, respectively. Considering the 26-year-old ceiling is likely in the 20-25 point range, he is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value this year.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game in third period Bean (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's preseason game versus the Canucks in the third period, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact There was no update available on Bean's status after the contest. The 26-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's preseason rematch with the Canucks.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy at training camp Bean (hand) is ready to go for the start of the season, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Thursday.

Impact Bean is practicing with the first group at camp, after missing the last six games of the regular season with Columbus in 2023-24. Bean had four goals and 13 points with 110 blocked shots in 72 regular-season contests with the Blue Jackets last year. Columbus did not give Bean a qualifying offer and the 26-year-old defenseman signed with his hometown team. Bean is expected to be a third-pairing defenseman with Calgary this season.

'I've always wanted to play for the Flames': Opportunity knocks for Jake Bean in return to Calgary with Flames Getting to play for the team he grew up cheering for is a big part of the appeal for Jake Bean returning to Calgary, but not the only reason

JULY 2 • CALGARYHERALD.COM

Picks up two-year deal Bean (hand) agreed to terms on a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Calgary on Monday.

Impact Bean will link up with his hometown club after the Blue Jackets decided not to give him a qualifying offer. The 26-year-old blueliner saw action in 72 regular-season contests last year in which he generated four goals, nine assists and 110 blocks. Offensively, Bean is rather limited, having reached the 25-point threshold once in his four-year NHL career.

Report: Flames sign Calgary's own Jake Bean Jake Bean played 72 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets, scoring four goals and adding nine assists and posting a minus-10.

JULY 1 • CALGARYHERALD.COM

Not expected to receive QO Bean (hand) is not expected to get a qualifying offer from Columbus on Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Impact As a result, Bean will be eligible to test the open market Monday as an unrestricted free agent. The 26-year-old rearguard contributed four goals, nine points, 76 shots on net and 110 blocked shots in 72 games during the 2023-24 campaign. He sat out the final six games of the regular season after suffering a broken hand against the Islanders on April 4. However, he could be healthy before training camps open in the fall, so that shouldn't impact his ability to find a new deal elsewhere.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Bean will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign after suffering a broken hand during Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Bean will finish the season with four goals, 13 points, 32 PIM, 28 hits and 110 blocks in 72 games. Adam Boqvist (upper body) is also out indefinitely, so the Blue Jackets are down to five healthy defensemen and will likely recall someone from the minors before Saturday's tilt versus the Flyers. Bean is set to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer after finishing his three-year, $7 million deal. If Bean re-signs with the Blue Jackets, he will probably serve primarily in a third-pairing role next season.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Per Coby Maeir of 1st Ohio Battery, Bean (undisclosed) will miss the remainder of the season, according to coach Pascal Vincent.

Impact Bean was injured after blocking a shot Thursday against the Islanders. He finishes the season with four goals, nine assists and 110 blocked shots in 72 appearances. Look for the Blue Jackets to recall a defenseman ahead of Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, as they currently have only five healthy rearguards.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss time Bean (undisclosed) will be out for "a while" after exiting Thursday's game versus the third period following a blocked shot, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports...

Impact A roster move is likely incoming, as the Blue Jackets have just five healthy defensemen. Given the time of the year and the team's poor placement in the standings, Bean could be shut down for the rest of the campaign with even a moderate injury. Jake Christiansen is the most likely candidate to rise to the NHL roster as a replacement.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs helper in win Bean notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bean was able to end a five-game pointless streak but still hasn't managed to find the back of the net since Jan. 27 versus Vancouver, a stretch of 13 games without a marker. Considering the 25-year-old defenseman hasn't recorded a shot in seven straight outings, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to generate much in the way of offensive output any time soon.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Puts away goal Saturday Bean scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Bean converted off a turnover created by Yegor Chinakhov's takeaway. With five points over his last 13 outings, Bean has at least put up respectable offense for a bottom-four defenseman lately. He's at eight points, 61 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 45 appearances, so most fantasy managers can do better for their defensive depth.

Point drought at 23 games Bean recorded two blocked shots, a shot on net and a hit in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Impact The 25-year-old blueliner continues to draw a regular shift for Columbus with Damon Severson (oblique) and Adam Boqvist (shoulder) both on IR, but Bean hasn't done much with his opportunities. He's gone 23 games without registering a point, last getting onto a scoresheet with an assist Oct. 24 against the Ducks. During that drought, he's recorded 30 blocked shots, 25 shots on goal, 10 PIM, eight hits and a minus-7 rating. Despite his pedigree as the 13th overall pick in the 2016 Draft, Bean has never been able to make an impact in the NHL, and he seems unlikely to be brought back as a restricted free agent next season given his current $2.3 million salary.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bends twine Thursday Bean scored a goal on two shots versus the Flyers on Thursday.

Impact Bean managed just one goal in 14 matches last season, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to suddenly start competing for the Norris Trophy. Still, during the 2021-22 campaign, the blueliner played significantly more games (67) and racked up seven goals over that stretch.

Ready to return Bean (shoulder) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against Buffalo.

Impact Bean will make his 2023 exhibition debut after being out with an abductor strain since the beginning of training camp. He produced six points, 16 shots on goal, 21 blocked shots and 13 hits in 14 games with the Blue Jackets last season. Bean is competing for a depth spot on the roster going into the 2023-24 campaign.

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Considered week-to-week Bean (shoulder) is regarded as week-to-week as training camp begins, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Bean recorded a goal and six points in 14 games in 2022-23. He hasn't played since Nov. 15, 2022 because of the injury.
