Jake Walman - NHL News & Rumors

Earns helper in overtime loss Walman notched an assist and blocked seven shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Walman had the secondary helper on Macklin Celebrini's first NHL goal. The 28-year-old Walman is set to play in a much larger role than he's ever had in the NHL -- he opened the campaign on the top pairing and first power-play unit. Walman had a career-high 21 points, including four on the power play, over 63 contests with the Red Wings last year before he was traded in a salary dump to San Jose in June. While he's poised for a career year, the move to the Sharks will likely saddle him with an ugly plus-minus rating.

Robust totals in abbreviated season Walman finished the season with a career-high 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) to complement 42 hits and 151 blocked shots through 63 games.

Impact Walman was bogged down by an illness in January and a lower-body issue limited him to two games in the season's final month. But when healthy, Walman surfaced with a series of special moments. The skilled defenseman surged to a three-point performance while facing the Predators in the penultimate contest of 2023, and his penalty-shot goal in overtime against the Canucks on Feb. 11 roused the home crowd. Walman's industrious style of play makes him a good fit in Detroit, though he may a bit too injury prone to stay on fantasy rosters for a sustained period of time.

Reaches double-digits in goals Walman skated to a plus-2 rating with a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vegas.

Impact With a career-high 10 goals and eight assists on the season ledger, Walman has tied a personal best in points from last year when he totaled 63 games. He continues to be an underrated fantasy option playing alongside 2022 Calder Trophy winner Moritz Seider, and Walman's presence affords the Wings the luxury of having supreme passer Shayne Gostisbehere on the third pair in order to create offensive mismatches. Walman may not be the most exciting fantasy option, but he's averaging 19:56 of ice time per game in his hockey prime.

Plays Friday night Walman returned to action Friday in the 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact After missing the last three games, Walman (illness) managed one hit, one block, a shot on goal and a minus-1 rating. His illness did not seem to take away from his playing time as he finished with a 20:40 TOI.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Walman (illness) is in Friday's lineup against Carolina, per the NHL's media site.

Impact Walman missed the last three games while battling an illness but will be on the ice for the first time since Jan. 11 against Edmonton. The 27-year-old has nine goals -- tied for the most in his career -- and 17 points through 38 games this season.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Canes Walman (illness) is a doubt ahead of Friday's matchup versus Carolina, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Walman has just one practice under his belt after having missed the last three games due to an illness. Still, the fact that the defenseman was able to get back onto the ice is certainly a step in the right direction. The 27-year-old Toronto native needs only one more point to match the career high he set last season and will reach the 10-goal threshold with just one more tally.
