Next Game
Jake Walman tallied two points for the Red Wings Saturday, picking up one assist and scoring the game-winning goal in overtime on a penalty shot in a 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Fantasy Impact
Walman has struggled to make an impact in the offensive zone of late, posting points in just two of his last 11 games (two goals, one assist) for the Red Wings. The 27-year-old provides head coach Derek Lalonde with a steady defensive option while flashing finishing ability at times, notching 20 points (11 goals, nine assists) to go along with 26 hits in 45 games so far this season.
Jake Walman scored off a turnover during a 4-3 loss to Columbus. He had three shots and two hits in 17:54 minutes of ice time.
Fantasy Impact
The goal was his fifth of the season in 25 games played. He also has eight assists and a plus-13 rating and has been seeing time on the first defensive pairing lately with Moritz Seider which has seemed to elevate both of their offensive performances. He has three goals and one assist in his last four games.
