Goal, assist in St. Louis Walman generated a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Impact Walman registered an assist on the man advantage in the second period, and his goal to put San Jose up 4-2 in the third period stood as the eventual game-winner. The Ontario native was all over the scoresheet Thursday -- he logged four shots on net, three blocked shots, one takeaway and a plus-1 rating to go along with a team-high 23:52 of ice time. Walman was highly productive in November with 10 points in as many games, but he had just one point over four games prior to Thursday's multi-point effort. The Sharks' No. 1 blueliner is leading the club on the back end in scoring with five goals and 17 assists through 27 appearances.

He needs one more point to match his career high from last season.

The 28-year-old defenseman is two points shy of matching his output from last year, and with a huge role in all situations for the Sharks, it looks like he'll be crushing his previous high-water marks across the board.

Walman is up to 14 points (three on the power play), 54 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-5 rating over 19 appearances.

NOVEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Not available versus Rangers Walman (upper body) remains sidelined for Thursday's clash with the Rangers, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Walman will be out of the lineup for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. The blueliner was originally deemed a game-time call versus New York, so it's possible he will be ready in time to face the Penguins on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Thursday Walman (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision Thursday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Walman has a goal and nine points in 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's missed San Jose's last four games because of the injury. If he draws back into the lineup Thursday, then Jack Thompson would likely be a healthy scratch after dressing in the Sharks' past four games.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday Walman (upper body) won't play Monday against Philadelphia, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Walman is day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. His next chance to return will be Thursday versus the Rangers. Walman has one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 outings this season.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Walman (upper body) won't suit up for Sunday's contest against the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Walman will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The left-shot blueliner skated with the team Sunday morning, so he could suit up in the second half of a back-to-back versus the Flyers on Monday. Jack Thompson will replace Walman in the lineup Sunday.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Walman (upper body) will be a game-time decision Sunday versus the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact San Jose may dress seven defenders and 11 forwards against New Jersey. Walman was on the top pairing and worked on the second power-play unit during Sunday's morning skate, both positive signs for a potential return from a two-game absence. He has registered one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Traveling with team Walman (upper body) will join the Sharks for their upcoming four-game road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Thursday.

Impact Walman has missed two games due to team suspension and upper-body injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. Once the 28-year-old defenseman is cleared to play, he should immediately retake his spot on the blue line in addition to seeing power-play opportunities. Barring a long-term injury, the Toronto native should be capable of easily surpassing his previous career high of 21 points set last year.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Thursday Walman will miss Thursday's game versus Minnesota with an upper-body injury, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact It will be the second straight game that Walman will miss as he sat out Tuesday for disciplinary reasons. The defenseman has a goal and nine points in 13 games this season, including seven points in his last four games. Look for Jack Thompson to remain in the lineup. Walman could return Sunday when the Sharks are in New Jersey to play the Devils.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Walman (undisclosed) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Minnesota, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Walman missed Tuesday's game versus Columbus for disciplinary reasons. His status for the game could be clarified by coach Ryan Warsofsky after the team's optional skate Thursday. Walman was red-hot before sitting out Tuesday as he had a goal and seven points in his previous four games, giving the 28-year-old, a goal and nine points in 13 contests this season.
