Walman was activated from the taxi squad Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will add depth for Saturday's game against the Coyotes because Marco Scandella (upper body) has been ruled out. He's not expected to draw into the lineup, but he'll serve as pregame injury insurance.

Walman was recalled from the taxi squad Monday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will add depth on the blue line after the Blues placed Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) on injured reserve. However, Niko Mikkola likely has the upper hand if there's a late scratch for Monday's game against the Sharks.

Walman was recalled from AHL Utica to the taxi squad Sunday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman can practice with the Blues now, and he'll add depth to the blue line while Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) is on injured reserve. The 24-year-old has just one game of NHL experience under his belt. He's not expected to play unless injuries pile up further in St. Louis.

Walman was waived by the Blues on Monday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just a few years ago, Walman was considered to have a bright future in the Blues' organization, but he has since been passed up by Niko Mikkola in the franchise's pecking order. Despite an impressive training camp, Walman will go to waivers in an attempt by the Blues to shuffle him to the AHL or the taxi squad.

Walman inked a two-year contract with St. Louis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's deal will be a two-way contract in the first year before converting to a one-way in the second. While this likely means the blueliner will spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign in the minors, the organization clearly believes he can grow into a full-time NHL caliber player. With AHL San Antonio last year, the 24-year-old Toronto native racked up career-highs in both goals (eight) and assists (19). Walman made his NHL debut last year and should see a few more games in 2020-21 if/when injuries crop up.

Walman was reassigned to AHL San Antonio on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman made his NHL debut in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights, and he logged 11:04 of ice time. It doesn't make sense for the 23-year-old to be bouncing in and out of the lineup and playing minimal minutes when he does suit up, so he'll continue his development in the AHL ranks. Niko Mikkola was called up in a corresponding move.

Walman logged 11:04 of ice time and fired a shot on net in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Walman teamed up with Robert Bortuzzo on the bottom pairing, but the former wasn't deployed on the power play or penalty kill. The 23-year-old's stint in the lineup will last as long as Colton Parayko (undisclosed) is out of the lineup, but considering Parayko took warmups before Saturday's game, it doesn't look like that will be much longer.

St. Louis recalled Walman from AHL Chicago on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues only had six healthy defensemen on their roster prior to Walman's promotion, so he'll round out the team's blue-line depth for the foreseeable future. The 23-year-old has notched 18 points in 32 AHL appearances this season.

Walman was shipped off to AHL Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman was in St. Louis simply to provide emergency depth on the blue line, as he failed to crack the lineup. The Toronto native will return to the Wolves, for whom he has recorded two goals, 11 assists, and 14 PIM. The 21-year-old should remain atop the short list of potential call-ups should the Blues pick up additional injuries.

Walman was called up from AHL Chicago on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Measuring in at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, Walman needs to bulk up to avoid getting physically destroyed at the highest level. The Blues sent Vince Dunn (illness) to injured reserve Saturday, but the team still has the requisite number of defensemen for Saturday's matinee against the Flyers and likely will avoid using Walman -- who has two goals and 11 assists for the AHL's Wolves this season -- if at all possible. This isn't a knock on the youngster, but the Blues would much rather play him under different circumstances.
