Jake Walman - NHL News & Rumors

Gets on scoresheet Walman supplied an assist and went minus-2 in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Impact The helper was Walman's first point through seven games this season. The 30-year-old defenseman has added six shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating. While his numbers aren't great, he appears to be first in line for an increased role while Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) recovers from the injury he suffered Thursday. As such, Walman is a decent short-term speculative addition in fantasy.

Likely to play against Utah Walman (upper body) will likely play in Saturday's game against the Mammoth, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact The Oilers seem to want to see how Walman fares during Saturday's morning skate before officially giving him the green light to suit up against Utah, but he appears poised to put an end to his three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Across his four appearances to begin the regular season, the 30-year-old has been held scoreless with seven blocked shots, five shots on goal and four PIM while averaging 14:47 of ice time.

Won't play Thursday Walman (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mammoth, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Walman continues to deal with an upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive game Thursday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but his next opportunity to do so will be in a rematch against Utah on Saturday.

Remains out against Kings Walman (upper body) will not be available versus Los Angeles on Tuesday, Oilers' TV reporter Paige Martin reports.

Impact Walman will be out of the lineup for his second straight game due to his upper-body problem. The 30-year-old blueliner will have to wait at least one more game before getting a chance to register his first point of the 2026-27 campaign. Even once Walman returns to action, he likely won't offer enough offensive upside to produce more than low-end fantasy value.

Sidelined for Saturday's clash Walman (upper body) will not play in Saturday's road matchup against the Sharks, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Head coach Mike Babcock mentioned that he believes Walman's injury isn't too serious, which was revealed by Janson Duench of The Athletic to be an upper-body issue. In Walman's absence, Shakir Mukhamadullin will appear in the Oilers lineup Saturday. The 30-year-old Walman is off to a slow start offensively in the 2026-27 regular-season, where he has a minus-3 rating, five shots on net and seven blocked shots across four appearances. His next opportunity to get back on the right foot is Tuesday's road game against the Kings.

Hopes to showcase improved conditioning Walman said Wednesday that he focused on conditioning along with his teammates during the offseason, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Walman was limited to 53 regular-season appearances during his first full season with the Oilers last year, and he recorded eight goals, 12 assists, 90 blocked shots, 15 hits and 10 PIM while averaging 18:45 of ice time. He reportedly looked slightly lighter on the eve of training camp Wednesday, and he'll attempt to display increased durability during the 2026-27 campaign.
