Walman (lower body) is hoping to be available against Washington on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walman won't be ready to play versus the Predators on Saturday but appears to be trending in the right direction. Until Walman is ready to play, Simon Edvinsson figures to remain in the lineup for the Red Wings. Through 61 games this season, the 28-year-old Walman has set new personal bests in goals (12), points (21) and blocks (150).

Walman recorded an assist to complement an overtime goal on a penalty shot in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
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's brilliant performance was accentuated by him reaching a new career high in points. His running total now stands at 11 goals and nine assists through 45 contests.

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 (illness) is in Friday's lineup against Carolina, per the NHL's media site.
EDGE Analysis

Walman (illness) is in doubt ahead of Friday's matchup versus Carolina, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walman has just one practice under his belt after having missed the last three games due to an illness. Still, the fact the defenseman was able to get back onto the ice is certainly a step in the right direction. The 27-year-old Toronto native needs only one more point to match the career high he set last season and will reach the 10-goal threshold with just one more tally.
