Jake Walman Fantasy Stats

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (upper body) is "very likely" to play on Saturday night against the Utah Mammoth, David Staples of the Edmonton Journal reports.

The 30-year-old averaged about 0.5 points per game over the previous two campaigns. Utah has a top-10 defense, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect an immediate impact from Walman.

During Walman's absence, Ty Emberson has secured a regular role in the Oilers defense, posting three assists over the last six games.

The Oilers have previously played with seven defensemen, meaning forward Connor Clattenburg will come into the lineup as Walman's replacement on Saturday. The 20-year-old will make his NHL debut on the fourth line. Clattenburg is expected to bring energy and physicality to the lineup, but he has no fantasy value.

Walman scored Edmonton's first goal of the game, tying things at one late in the first period.

During the extra frame, Walman completed his three-point effort with an assist on Jack Roslovic's fourth goal of the year. This marked already the fourth multi-point effort of the season for Walman.

Walman appeared to have been trending toward making his season debut against the Islanders, but instead, he is now expected to join the lineup over the weekend.

In 65 outings split between the Oilers and San Jose Sharks last season, he produced a career-high 40 points (seven goals, 33 assists) with 164 shots and 145 blocks. Walman's versatility makes him a very appealing fantasy option.

He had the secondary assist when Connor Brown completed the scoring 16:36 into the second period. This marked only the second assist and the third postseason point for Walman. He enjoyed a career year during the regular season with 40 points (seven goals, 33 assists) in 65 appearances. This included eight points (one goal, seven assists) in 15 games with the Oilers since his move from the San Jose Sharks.

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenseman Jake Walman from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Carl Berglund and a 2026 first round selection. The first round pick is top 12 protected. In addition, if the Oilers were to trade their 2027 first round, the Sharks would then receive the 2026 pick. The 29-year-old has enjoyed a career season in San Jose. Through 50 games, the former third round selection has found the back of the net six times and added 26 helpers. He has tallied seven of his helpers on the power-play. Walman has also logged 48 hits with an impressive 111 blocked shots and 125 shots on goal. Over his past four contests, Walman has blocked 19 shots and added two helpers. Fantasy managers should expect Walman to have a role on the left side of the Edmonton defense.
