• Flames' Jake Bean: Picks up assist Saturday

  15H ago • By RotoWire

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

• Flames' Jake Bean: Loses out on regular role

  25D ago • By RotoWire

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

• Flames' Jake Bean: Nets goal in loss

  10/25/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Flames' Jake Bean: Assists in consecutive outings

  10/13/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Flames' Jake Bean: Logs helper Wednesday

  10/10/2024 • By RotoWire

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