Walman (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Friday against Carolina, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will team up with Connor Murphy, who was acquired Wednesday from Chicago. Walman was injured Tuesday in Ottawa and snapped his two-game goal scoring streak. Walman has eight goals and 10 assists in 33 games this season.

Walman sustained an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Senators, but it isn't expected to be serious, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman was held out of the third period of Tuesday's contest. The 30-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Hurricanes. It doesn't seem like he's in danger of a lengthy absence, and the Oilers will have Connor Murphy ready to step into the lineup Friday if Walman can't go.

Walman scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Walman put up four goals in just five games in February. The 30-year-old defenseman looks to have some momentum for the stretch run, which is a positive given all the time he missed due to two injuries earlier in the campaign. He has 18 points, 60 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 32 appearances.

Walman scored twice on four shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Walman had the Oilers' last two goals of the game. He's up to seven tallies this season, including four over his last nine outings. The veteran defenseman is at 17 points, 59 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 31 contests overall, playing mainly in a second-pairing role.

Walman scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Walman ended a four-game slump with the tally. The 29-year-old defenseman's goal tied the game for all of nine seconds in the middle of the second period. He's up to five goals, 15 points, 54 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 28 appearances. There's some risk in trusting Walman for fantasy, but he's done a decent job in a top-four role with limited power-play time.

Walman scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is heating up on offense with a point in four straight games (one goal, three assists). His tally Thursday was a shortie to get the Oilers on the board in the second period. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to four goals (two shorthanded), 10 assists, 39 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 23 appearances. He has some scoring upside for a blueliner, but his bottom-four role could lead to inconsistency.

Walman notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Walman's first point in three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him 23 games. The 29-year-old was eased in for the first two games, but he saw 21:29 of ice time Saturday. He's likely to fill a bottom-four role but could still be a factor on the power play. For the season, he's at 11 points, 31 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 20 appearances.

Walman (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 23-game absence, Walman should return to the lineup against Nashville on Tuesday. He has contributed three goals, 10 points, 23 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and seven hits in 17 appearances this season.

Walman (lower body) participated in Monday's practice, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman still hasn't been given clearance to return to the lineup, but the Oilers hope to have him back in the fold next week, according to Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton. The 29-year-old Walman has missed the last 19 games. He has contributed three goals, 10 points, 23 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and seven hits in 17 appearances this season.

Walman (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has already been out of the lineup for the last seven games, and only needs to miss three more, so his placement on LTIR is unlikely to impact his return to action. While the team hasn't provided an update beyond calling the blueliner week-to-week, fantasy managers can probably expect him to be sidelined at least through the Christmas break.
