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.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (upper body) will not play on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. Walman has had a weird couple of weeks, first contributing seven points in a three-game stretch last week, then getting healthy scratched for disciplinary reasons on Tuesday, and now missing Thursday's game with a new injury. It's unfortunate timing, as Walman has been on a tear recently, but hopefully the 28-year-old's injury isn't severe. Jack Thompson will once again step in for Walman and should get a little powerplay time, but expect Timothy Liljegren to see the most time with the man advantage.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman will be a healthy scratch against Columbus on Tuesday. Walman recently erupted for seven points in three games, and he's been by far the most productive blue-liner on the team, but Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky has decided to sit him for Tuesday's game. Walman's work includes one goal and eight assists in 13 games this season. Jack Thompson, who has tallied three assists in six appearances, will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday. He will skate on the second defensive pairing and with the second power-play unit.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman is expected to miss Sunday's meeting with Toronto due to an illness. He'll be absent for a second consecutive game after Walman also sat out Saturday's contest against Los Angeles. Justin Holl came into the lineup as Walman's replacement on Saturday. 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.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman (illness) is ready to face Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. His status was initially doubtful after Walman missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness. The 27-year-old has had a fine campaign with the Red Wings, registering 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 37 games with 63 shots on goal and 104 blocks. Buffalo's Rasmus Dahlin and Vancouver's Quinn Hughes are the only blue-liners in the league this season with more goals scored than Walman, while he's ranked eighth in blocked shots.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman (illness) will be back from a two-game spell on the sidelines Wednesday against the Rangers. The 27-year-old was forced to miss his first two contests of the year due to an illness, but he's back in game shape, and the Red Wings will be delighted to have Walman available for the big matchup. Walman has totaled eight points (four goals, four assists) in 18 games while blocking 50 shots and producing 34 efforts on net with a plus-seven rating. Justin Holl (undisclosed) will likely drop out of the lineup on Wednesday.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman (undisclosed) will play on Wednesday versus New Jersey. His status for the game was in doubt after Walman exited the last contest with an undisclosed ailment, but he's had some extra time to recover since Friday and is good to go against the Devils. Walman is a versatile defenseman who has registered seven points (four goals, three assists) in 17 games this season with 31 shots on goal while posting 45 blocks with a plus-five rating. He'll assume his regular duties on the first defensive pairing next to Moritz Seider.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman suffered an undisclosed injury in Friday's Global Series game against Toronto. He was able to log 12:29 of ice time in the contest before being forced to exit. Walman has been a fantastic two-way force for Detroit all year on the first defensive pairing, posting seven points (four goals, three assists) in 17 games with 45 blocks. He will get some good recovery time, as the Red Wings will be off until Wednesday, but the injury might still keep him out of action for the first time this season.
