Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman is expected to miss Sunday's meeting with Toronto due to an illness.

Holl played well in 13:22 of action, helping the Red Wings to a 5-3 victory, but Walman is a significant miss from the lineup. He has totaled 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 38 appearances while also being a shot-blocking machine. The 27-year-old sits just outside the top six in shots blocks, with 111 blocks registered.
