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.

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman finished Monday's 5-4 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets with three points. Walman scored Edmonton's first goal of the game, tying things at one late in the first period. Yet, the Oilers once again dug themselves a hole and needed to produce a big effort late in the contest to avoid another defeat. Luckily for them, Walman popped up with a short-handed goal inside the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. 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. Edmonton has a back-to-back set scheduled against New Jersey and Detroit. The Oilers have just recorded their first shutout of the season, which shows that things are clicking well at the back even without Walman, so there's no point in rushing his return.

He will remain out for a third straight game on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Tuesday's contest will likely be Troy Stecher's final appearance for some time.

When healthy, he figures to have a regular role in the top four and on the power play this season.

Due to an undisclosed injury, Walman saw limited action during the preseason, but he was expected to return to full health in time for the season opener. Now it looks like the Oilers may have to start their campaign without the 29-year-old blue-liner. Following his mid-season arrival from San Jose, Walman had eight points (one goal, seven assists), 80 shots, and 34 blocks in 15 games with the Oilers in 2024-25.

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 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. However, Walman's productivity on the offensive end has nosedived during the postseason, as he has been limited to a third-pairing role at the back.

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. He could also find time on the second power-play unit, given his experience on the power-play in San Jose. Timothy Liljegren will likely replace Walman on the top unit of the San Jose power-play.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (lower body) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Tampa Bay. He's struggling to shake off a lower-body injury.

However, Liljegren has still struggled to make an impact, going scoreless in four games with a minus-seven rating.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Philadelphia. Walman, who has notched an impressive 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 31 outings, has resumed skating but isn't ready to rejoin the lineup. Henry Thrun has worked on the first defensive pairing during Walman's absence, with the power-play usage of Timothy Liljegren and Shakir Mukhamadullin increasing.

Walman has quietly been among the most productive fantasy defensemen in 2024-25, offering value across the board. Through 31 appearances, he has produced a career-high 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) with 80 shots, 30 hits, and 47 blocks. Henry Thrun is set to move to Walman's position on the first defensive pairing, while his absence may give Timothy Liljegren a job on the first power-play unit. Shakir Mukhamadullin will fill the open spot in the lineup.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (upper body) will miss a third consecutive game on Sunday versus New Jersey. He was initially regarded as a game-time decision for the matchup. It's been a productive campaign for Walman, who has recorded nine points, 35 shots, 22 blocks, and 16 hits in 12 appearances. Rookie Jack Thompson will continue to fill in for Walman. Thompson recently scored his first career goal and has picked up four points in eight games. However, three of his points have come on the power play, and San Jose faces a good penalty-killing team on Sunday, making it tough for Thompson to add to his account.
