Walman (upper body) will remain sidelined for Thursday's clash with the Rangers, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will be out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. The blueliner was originally deemed a game-time call versus New York, so it's possible he will be ready in time to face the Penguins on Saturday.

Walman (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision Thursday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has a goal and nine points over 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's missed San Jose's last four games due to the injury. If he draws back into the lineup Thursday, then Jack Thompson would likely be a healthy scratch after dressing in the Sharks' past four games.

Walman (upper body) won't play Monday against Philadelphia, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Walman is day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. His next chance to return will be Thursday versus the Rangers. Walman has one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 outings this season.

Walman (upper body) won't suit up for Sunday's contest against the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Walman will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The left-shot blueliner skated with the team Sunday morning, so he could suit up in the second half of a back-to-back versus the Flyers on Monday. Jack Thompson will replace Walman in the lineup Sunday, and Henry Thrun will slide up to the top defense pair alongside Cody Ceci.

Walman (upper body) will be a game-time decision Sunday versus the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

San Jose may dress seven defenders and 11 forwards against New Jersey. Walman was on the top pairing and worked on the second power-play unit during Sunday's morning skate, both positive signs for a potential return from a two-game absence. He has registered one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 appearances this season.

Walman (upper body) will join the Sharks for their upcoming four-game road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has missed two games due to team suspension and upper-body injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. Once the 28-year-old defenseman is cleared to play, he should immediately retake his spot on the blue line in addition to seeing power-play opportunities. Barring a long-term injury, the Toronto native should be capable of easily surpassing his previous career high of 21 points set last year.

Walman will miss Thursday's game versus Minnesota with an upper-body injury, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the second straight game that Walman will miss as he sat out Tuesday for disciplinary reasons. The defenseman has a goal and nine points in 13 games this season, including seven points in his last four games. Look for Jack Thompson to remain in the lineup. Walman could return Sunday when the Sharks are in New Jersey to play the Devils.

Walman (undisclosed) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Minnesota, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman missed Tuesday's game versus Columbus for disciplinary reasons. His status for the game could be clarified by coach Ryan Warsofsky after the team's optional skate Thursday. Walman was red-hot before sitting out Tuesday as he had a goal and seven points in his previous four games, giving the 28-year-old a goal and nine points in 13 contests this season.

Walman (coach's decision) will be back in action against Minnesota on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's benching versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday was for non-hockey reasons, according to head coach Ryan Warsofsky. The 28-year-old blueliner had been rolling offensively before sitting out Tuesday, racking up seven points in his last four contests. With Walman back in the lineup, Jack Thompson figures to be relegated to be scratched Thursday.

Walman will be a healthy scratch Tuesday versus Columbus, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has a goal and nine points in 13 appearances this season, including seven points over his past four outings. However, he did have a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Vancouver. The decision to scratch Walman is still surprising, but after a game out of the lineup, he will likely dress Thursday against Minnesota while serving in his typical top-four capacity. In the meantime, Jack Thompson is projected to draw back into the lineup Tuesday after being scratched Saturday.
