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.

Walman (undisclosed) is week-to-week, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has already missed the last six games, as his injury has lingered longer than expected. At this point, his return may not arrive until after the Christmas break, but it's still unclear when he will be ready to play. Walman has three goals, 10 points, 23 shots on net and 31 blocked shots in 17 appearances this season.

Walman (undisclosed) isn't expected to make his return Saturday versus Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is slated to miss his sixth consecutive game. He has three goals and 10 points in 17 appearances with the Oilers in 2025-26. His next opportunity to return will come Tuesday versus Buffalo.

Walman (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday against Seattle, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Walman hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 20. He has three goals and 10 points in 17 outings with Edmonton in 2025-26. Ty Emberson might lose his spot in the lineup when Walman's ready to return.

Walman (undisclosed) will not be in action versus Minnesota on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is expected to be an option either Thursday or Saturday against the Kraken or Jets, respectively. Tuesday's absence will be the blueliner's fourth straight game on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. Whenever the Toronto native is given the all-clear, he will look to bring his six-game point drought to a close.

Walman (undisclosed) will not be available Saturday in Seattle, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss his third straight game, though he could return as early as Tuesday versus Minnesota. Walman was without a point in six games before he sat out with his injury. He has three goals and seven assists across 17 games this season.
