EDGE Analysis

According to Dave Hogg of NHL.com, this was just the fourth time in NHL history that a defenseman scored on a penalty shot, and not until Saturday had anyone from the Red Wings accomplished such a feat.

Walman scored a goal and skated to a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

With a career-high 10 goals and eight assists on the season ledger, Walman has tied a personal best in points, matching the total he accrued over 63 games last season. He has been relatively productive playing alongside 2022 Calder Trophy winner Moritz Seider, and Walman's presence affords the Wings the luxury of having supreme passer Shayne Gostisbehere on the third pair to limit Gostisbehere's defensive zone time. Walman may not be the most exciting fantasy option, but he's averaging 19:56 of ice time per game in his hockey prime.

Walman returned to action Friday in the 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis
