Walman produced an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Walman set up James Neal's game-winning goal at 11:42 of the second period. The 25-year-old Walman hasn't been known for his offense in his limited NHL experience. He has two assists, 13 shots on net, nine hits and nine blocked shots through nine games while working in a bottom-pairing role this year. His place in the lineup seems secure for now -- Robert Bortuzzo and Niko Mikkola have competed to be the sixth defenseman playing alongside Walman.

Walman produced an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Walman picked up an assist on Jordan Kyrou's second goal of the game. The 25-year-old Walman had just two points to go with 47 shots on goal, 26 hits and 20 blocked shots in 24 contests last year. He's the Blues' sixth defenseman for now, but he'll have to fend off Niko Mikkola's challenge for a third-pairing job.

Walman was removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has missed the last five games while on the protocols list and hasn't suited up since May 8. He likely won't be available for Game 3 against the Avalanche on Friday but could return as soon as Sunday's Game 4 matchup. He scored just two points in 24 games during the regular season.

Walman (COVID-19 protocols) didn't make the trip to Colorado with his teammates, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news rules Walman out for Monday's Game 1 against the Avalanche, and he won't play in Game 2 unless he's able to clear COVID-19 protocols and travel to Colorado prior to Wednesday. Even when healthy, Walman has often been relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Walman has tested positive for COVID-19 and will enter the NHL's virus protocols.

EDGE Analysis

As such, Walman won't play Wednesday or Thursday (both against Minnesota), and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return for the postseason, which likely starts for the Blues next week.

Walman was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Kings after a positive COVID-19 test, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss Monday's game and likely be out at least two weeks unless his COVID-19 test was a false positive. The 25-year-old has two points in 25 games this season.

Walman produced an assist, two shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 9-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Walman set up the third of Ryan O'Reilly's three goals Friday at 10:17 of the third period. The 25-year-old Walman has a goal and an assist in his last two games, which accounts for all of his offense through 12 outings. He's expected to stay in the lineup at least through Monday's trade deadline, as the Blues have held out veteran blueliner Robert Bortuzzo in the last two contests.

Walman scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Walman potted an insurance tally at 13:31 of the third period to give the Blues a 3-0 lead. It was his first NHL goal and point in 12 career games. The 25-year-old blueliner has produced 17 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating through 11 outings this season. Walman isn't expected to produce enough offense to warrant fantasy consideration.

Walman was promoted to the active roster Friday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is playing in Friday's game versus the Avalanche. The 25-year-old seems set to split a third-pairing role with Niko Mikkola for the time being.

Walman was demoted to the taxi squad Monday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has been in the Blues' lineup for six of the last seven games, recording a minus-3 rating and 14 shots on goal. If St. Louis gets any of its injured defensemen back, the 25-year-old rookie will likely head back to the press box.
