Walman logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Walman had a shot attempt ricochet off the boards and straight to Corey Perry, who buried it for the Oilers' first goal. This was Walman's third game in a row with a helper as he continues to settle into a top-four role with his new team. He's at 37 points (eight on the power play), 144 shots on net, 55 hits, 135 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 59 outings between the Oilers and the Sharks.

Walman recorded a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's helper was on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' empty-netter, which completed a hat trick for the forward. With four assists over eight games as an Oiler, Walman has settled in nicely with his new team. He's at 36 points (seven on the power play, one shorthanded), 139 shots on net, 134 blocked shots, 55 hits and a plus-4 rating through 58 appearances between Edmonton and San Jose this season.

Walman provided an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has three helpers over seven outings since he was traded to the Oilers from the Sharks. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see significant minutes, though the Oilers have five blueliners competing for top-four minutes. For the season, Walman is at 35 points, 138 shots on net, 133 blocked shots, 55 hits and a plus-3 rating over 57 appearances.

Walman recorded an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's Oilers debut came alongside Darnell Nurse, giving the team a strong all-around pairing. With three helpers over his last two games, Walman comes to Edmonton with a little momentum. The 29-year-old has had a career year with 33 points, 128 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 50 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-2 rating over over 51 appearances. His numbers were strong considering he was playing for the Sharks, and while power-play time won't be plentiful in Edmonton, Walman may still be able to put up decent offense.

Walman was traded to the Oilers from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Carl Berglund and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.

EDGE Analysis

The pick is top-12 protected, and would transfer to 2027 in the unlikely event the Oilers get such a high pick in 2026. If the Oilers deal away their 2027 first-rounder, the 2026 pick would go to the Sharks automatically. Walman bolsters the left side of the Edmonton defense, and he could pair with Evan Bouchard or former Sharks teammate Ty Emberson. Walman has contributed a career-high 32 points over 50 appearances this season as the leader on San Jose's blue line, but his move to a contender will likely lower his ice time and his scoring output, so fantasy managers may want to have a backup plan in place for their defense corps.

Walman is being held out of the lineup versus the Avalanche on Thursday for trade-related reasons, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is expected to be dealt to the Oilers, but both the Sharks and Oilers are playing Thursday. Additionally, Edmonton's having an injury crisis on defense, so the deal is not expected to be completed immediately -- though it could happen after the games Thursday or at some point Friday. Walman has a career-high 32 points over 50 appearances this season, but his role is likely to shrink dramatically with the Oilers.

Walman had two assists in a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

His breakout season continues. Walman has 32 points, including 26 helpers, and 125 shots in 50 games this season. His average ice time is up significantly -- more than three minutes a night -- from last season in Detroit (23:11 vs. 19:46). And his minus-1 rating is impressive on a team with a minus-68 goal differential on the season. Walman's career season feels like lightning in a bottle, but at the same time, we can't deny his value right now.

Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has logged three assists over eight contests since his last goal. He's still arguably the best blueliner the Sharks have, at least for fantasy. The 29-year-old is up to 30 points for the first time in his career, doing so in a mere 45 appearances. He's added 114 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-1 rating while skating in a top-four role.

Walman logged a power-play assist, six blocked shots and three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's offense is starting to come back around -- he has three points over his last six outings, and this was his first power-play point since Dec. 17. He also has 24 blocks in that six-game sample. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 29 points (seven on the power play), 108 shots on net, 82 blocks, 40 hits, 28 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 42 contests overall.

Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Walman had an attempt redirected in by Cody Ceci in the first period. With three points over his last eight games, Walman's scoring pace has slowed following his return from a lower-body injury earlier in the month. The defenseman is at 28 points, 102 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 35 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 39 appearances. Despite the downturn on offense, Walman remains in a top-pairing role with a spot on the first power-play unit.
