Walman supplied a power-play assist to complement five blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Walman is set up for success as a top-pairing defenseman averaging 20:30 of ice time, including 1:58 on the power play and 2:41 shorthanded. He's not nearly as potent offensively as his defensive partner Moritz Seider, but efficiency is the name of the game for Walman, who boasts a plus-7 rating to complement four goals, four assists and 49 blocked shots through 18 contests. Best of all? Half of his points have taken place with the extra attacker.

Walman (undisclosed) is expected back in the lineup versus New Jersey on Wednesday, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walman will avoid missing any game action after being injured while playing in Sweden against Toronto. The blueliner has just one point in his last five contests despite averaging 2:51 of ice time with the man advantage. Even with the recent slump, Walman should challenge for the 20-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

Walman (undisclosed) is questionable for practice Tuesday but might still play against New Jersey on Wednesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walman logged 12:29 of ice time in Friday's clash with the Maple Leafs before being forced to exit the game with his undisclosed injury. In 17 games this season, the blueliner has notched four goals and three assists, including three power-play points. If Walman misses any time, Jeff Petry figures to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch versus Toronto.

Walman suffered an undisclosed injury during Friday's game against Toronto and won't return.
EDGE Analysis
Walman sustained the injury when he crashed into the net during the second period, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press. Going into Friday's action, the 27-year-old defenseman had four goals, seven points, 18 PIM, four hits and 43 blocks in 16 appearances this season. If he can't play Wednesday versus New Jersey, then Jeff Petry will likely draw back into the lineup after being scratched Friday.

Walman scored the game-winning goal on two shots on net and added four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
With Detroit ahead 4-3 early in the third period, Walman fired a point shot that caromed off a Columbus defender, hit the end boards, then bounced off the back of goalie Spencer Martin's leg and into the net. While the 27-year-old blueliner won't be able to repeat that billiards shot any time soon, Walman's been productive of late with three goals and four points over the last six games. However, his fantasy value could be on shaky ground -- he didn't see a second of ice time on the power play Saturday, with Shayne Gostisbehere, Jeff Petry and Moritz Seider splitting those duties instead.

Walman contributed a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Detroit down 2-0, Walman assisted on Daniel Sprong's marker at 7:55 of the third period and then provided his own goal just 100 seconds later to tie the game. It was the first multi-point game of Walman's career. The 27-year-old defenseman has two goals and five points in 10 outings this year. That's a solid start to the campaign, but he probably won't maintain that offensive pace. Walman's career high in points is 18, set in 2022-23.
