Walman scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars. Walman cut the Stars' lead to 3-2 at 13:25 of the third period with a snap shot from the top of the right circle. This was his second goal of the season, but he's made a bigger impact as a playmaker from the blue line. The 28-year-old has 10 assists already, and that figure represents a career-high mark for him.

Walman posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins. While he was listed on the third pairing, Walman saw a team-high 24:55 of ice time in his return from a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman has been one of the bright spots for the Sharks this season, though that light may be dimmed if he remains on the second power-play unit. He has 10 points, 37 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 16 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 14 appearances.

Walman (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Pittsburgh, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Following a five-game absence, Walman could work on the third pairing and see power-play time on the second unit. He has a goal and nine points in 13 appearances this season. Jack Thompson will be scratched to make room for Walman's return.

Walman (upper body) will remain sidelined for Thursday's clash with the Rangers, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. Walman will be out of the lineup for a 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.

Walman (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision Thursday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com. Walman has a goal and nine points over 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's missed San Jose's last four games due to 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.
