Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Walman picked up his first point in three playoff contests. The 29-year-old has added three shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-5 rating. He's seeing time in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit. Walman has scoring potential after a career year of 40 points in 65 regular-season outings between the Oilers and the Sharks.

Walman (undisclosed) will be ready to play in Game 1 versus Los Angeles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman sat out five games at the end of the regular season, concluding with seven goals and 40 points across 65 games between Edmonton and San Jose in 2024-25. Based on Friday's practice, he will skate on the second pairing and could see time on the second power-play unit.

Walman (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sharks, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game for an undisclosed reason, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the start of the playoffs. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season with seven goals, 33 assists, 145 blocked shots, 57 hits and 42 PIM while averaging 22:46 of ice time.

Walman (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Monday's matchup versus the Kings, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss his fourth straight game but could be an option to return against the Sharks on Wednesday in the Oilers' regular-season finale. He has produced seven goals, 40 points, 164 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and 57 hits in 65 appearances between Edmonton and San Jose this season.

Walman (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Sunday versus the Jets, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss his third straight game with the injury, but previous reports suggested he could return by Monday's game versus the Kings. With Walman still out, Cam Dineen will presumably draw into the lineup, as the Oilers will also be without defender Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed).

Walman (undisclosed) won't be in action against the Sharks on Friday but should be available against Winnipeg on Sunday or Los Angeles on Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss his second straight contest due to his undisclosed injury. Based on head coach Kris Knoblauch's comments, it's possible that Walman only plays in one of the back-to-back contests to avoid putting too much strain on whatever is bothering him. Over nine games prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old blueliner had generated one goal and five helpers while averaging 21:01 of ice time. Ty Emberson figures to be the odd man out once Walman returns -- though Troy Stecher could also be in danger of losing ice time.

Walman (undisclosed) was labeled day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup with the Sharks, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman was a late scratch ahead of Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis, forcing the Oilers to utilize just five defensemen in that contest. After shifting John Klingberg (lower body) to long-term injured reserve, the team should now have the cap space to promote a player from the minors for Friday's contest.

Walman (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday versus the Blues, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Oilers will get a full complement of forwards in Connor McDavid's return from a lower-body injury, they'll be forced to play short on defense. It's unclear when Walman sustained the injury, as he had an assist and played 23:23 in Monday's loss to the Ducks.

Walman supplied an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Walman made his first return to San Jose since the Sharks dealt him to the Oilers ahead of the trade deadline. He was able to get on the scoresheet and is up to seven points through 13 appearances with his new team. Overall, the defenseman has 39 points (eight on the power play), 155 shots on net, 142 blocked shots, 57 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 63 outings this season.

Walman scored a goal four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Walman's first as an Oiler, tying the game at 1-1 just 19 seconds into the second period. The defenseman was on the top pairing in this contest, though he should have no trouble maintaining top-four minutes as long as Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) is out. Walman is up to six points over 12 games with the Oilers and a total of seven goals, 38 points, 154 shots on net, 142 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 62 appearances when accounting for his time with the Sharks to begin the campaign.
