Calgary Flames defenceman Kevin Bahl will miss Sunday's road game against the Winnipeg Jets due to an undisclosed injury.
Bahl left during the second period of Saturday's 5-4 win against the Minnesota Wild after he was hit from behind by Jakub Lauko and went head-first into the boards.
Although Bahl skated off the ice under his own power, he was ruled out for the remainder of the game as the third period began, according to the broadcast.
Lauko received a two-minute minor for boarding.
Flames head coach Ryan Huska told reporters Bahl will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Calgary.
Defenceman Jake Bean will replace Bahl in Calgary's lineup versus Winnipeg.
Bahl has recorded two goals and 14 points in 47 games during his first season with the Flames.
The 24-year-old was acquired from the New Jersey Devils last June along with a first-round draft pick in exchange for goaltender Jacob Markstrom.
The Flames (24-16-7) are fourth in the Pacific Division and look to prolong their three-game winning streak when they face the Central-leading Jets (33-14-3).
