Walman (upper body) will not participate in the World Championship.

EDGE Analysis

Walman set new career bests with nine goals, 18 points and 140 shots through 63 games this season. The 27-year-old was expected to represent Team Canada this offseason but now he'll use that time to heal before the 2023-24 campaign. An update on his status may not be available until closer to training camp.

Walman posted 18 points, 47 hits, 121 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 63 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

A shoulder injury caused Walman to get off to a late start to the campaign, but he made quite the impression for the Wings upon returning, as the aforementioned totals were all career-best marks. The Blues' castoff had played sparingly in St. Louis to start his career, though he leveled up with his new team, managing a whopping 140 shots on goal and lighting the lamp nine times to complement the same number of helpers. He inked a three-year, $10.2 million deal in February as a major boon to his confidence. From a fantasy perspective, there's a chance he'll be on the radar in deep leagues this fall.

Walman found the back of the net in a 3-2 victory over Carolina on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman supplied the deciding goal with just four seconds left in the third period. It was the 27-year-old's second career game-winner. Through 55 appearances in 2022-23, Walman has nine goals and 15 points. March has been a decent month offensively by his standards, with four goals and five points over 14 outings.

Walman posted an assist in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has stepped up as a top-pairing defenseman following the trade of Filip Hronek to the Canucks, and now he's up to seven goals, six assists and a plus-15 rating through 50 games. Those counting stats won't move the needle much in fantasy leagues, but Walman has surpassed expectations in Motown, with the reward being a three-year, $10.2 million extension that he inked in February.

Walman found the back of the net in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings appreciate the competitiveness that Walman brings to the table. He signed a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension at the end of February, and the defenseman's minutes are up since the Wings dealt Filip Hronek to the Canucks. Walman has seven goals, five assists and 87 blocked shots through 45 games; those numbers won't impress your average fantasy manager, but he's earned a plus-16 rating and is clearly trending in the right direction.

Walman agreed to terms on a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension with Detroit on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has seen a strong uptick in ice time, averaging 18:55 this season in which he has registered five goals, five assists and 95 shots on goal. While the 27-year-old blueliner is never going to be a Norris Trophy candidate, he should still be capable of pushing for 15-20 points per season and offering decent mid-range fantasy value, especially in formats that utilize blocks.

Walman provided an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

This was Walman's second game back from an upper-body injury that kept him out for three contests. He set up a Pius Suter tally in the first period. Walman has seen steady top-four usage as a defensive specialist this season, though he's also matched his career high with 10 points in 36 contests. The 26-year-old blueliner has added 81 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 32 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-15 rating.

Walman (upper body) will play Thursday versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Walman (upper body) will miss Wednesday's game versus Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is set to be absent for his third straight game. He has five goals and nine points in 34 contests this season. With Walman unavailable, Gustav Lindstrom is projected to stay in the lineup for the second consecutive game.

Walman (upper body) is not expected to play Monday versus Vancouver, Red Wings play-by-play announcer Ken Kal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman remains day-to-day after missing Monday's morning skate. He also sat out Saturday's contest versus the Canucks following an injury sustained in last Thursday's matchup with Calgary. Walman has registered nine points, 78 shots on goal, 63 blocks and 30 hits in 34 games this season. Jordan Oesterle could fill in on the back end again Monday.
