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