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. Bahl is expected to be a second-pairing defenseman this season. The 24-year-old had only a goal and 11 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, but he did manage 151 hits and 103 blocked shots for the Devils.
