Red Wings' Jake Walman: Delivers power-play helper
Rotowire
Walman supplied a power-play assist to complement five blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.
Walman is set up for success as a top-pairing defenseman averaging 20:30 of ice time, including 1:58 on the power play and 2:41 shorthanded. He's not nearly as potent offensively as his defensive partner Moritz Seider, but efficiency is the name of the game for Walman, who boasts a plus-7 rating to complement four goals, four assists and 49 blocked shots through 18 contests. Best of all? Half of his points have been contributed on the power play.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Set to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Walman (undisclosed) is expected back in the lineup versus New Jersey on Wednesday, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.
Walman will avoid missing any game action after being injured while playing in Sweden against Toronto. The blueliner has just one point in his last five contests despite averaging 2:51 of ice time with the man advantage. Even with the recent slump, Walman should challenge for the 20-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Pots fluky game-winner Saturday
Rotowire
Walman scored the game-winning goal on two shots on net and added four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Blue Jackets.
With Detroit ahead 4-3 early in the third period, Walman fired a point shot that caromed off a Columbus defender, hit the end boards, then bounced off the back of goalie Spencer Martin's leg and into the net. While the 27-year-old blueliner won't be able to repeat that billiards shot any time soon, Walman's been productive of late with three goals and four points over the last six games. However, his fantasy value could be on shaky ground -- he didn't see a second of ice time on the power play Saturday, with Shayne Gostisbehere, Jeff Petry and Moritz Seider splitting those duties instead.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Helps Red Wings in comeback win
Rotowire
Walman contributed a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Monday.
With Detroit down 2-0, Walman assisted on Daniel Sprong's marker at 7:55 of the third period and then provided his own goal just 100 seconds later to tie the game. It was the first multi-point game of Walman's career. The 27-year-old defenseman has two goals and five points in 10 outings this year. That's a solid start to the campaign, but he probably won't maintain that offensive pace. Walman's career high in points is 18, set in 2022-23.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Nice fit in Motown
Rotowire
Walman posted 18 points, 47 hits, 121 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 63 games this season.
A shoulder injury caused Walman to get off to a late start to the campaign, but he made quite the impression for the Wings upon returning, as the aforementioned totals were all career-best marks. The Blues' castoff had played sparingly in St. Louis to start his career, though he leveled up with his new team, managing a whopping 140 shots on goal and lighting the lamp nine times to complement the same number of helpers. He inked a three-year, $10.2 million deal in February as a major boon to his confidence. From a fantasy perspective, there's a chance he'll be on the radar in deep leagues this fall.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Pots seventh goal
Rotowire
Walman found the back of the net in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The Wings likely appreciate the competitiveness that Walman brings to the table.

Walman has seven goals, five assists and 87 blocked shots through 45 games; those numbers won't impress your average fantasy manager, but he's earned a plus-16 rating and is clearly trending in the right direction.
