Jake Walman shines bright in Edmonton Oilers win over Stars | Oilersnation After Dark
Jake Walman hit the ice for his first game as an Oiler, and he did not disappoint. The newly acquired defenseman was rock-solid on the blue line, showing off his skating, puck-moving ability, and defensive awareness. He played key minutes, looked confident in Edmonton’s system, and even contributed offensively with some smart plays in the attacking zone. Oilers fans couldn’t have asked for a better first impression.
From strong defensive stops to crisp breakout passes, Walman proved he could be a game-changer for the Oilers down the stretch. If this debut was any indication, he’s going to be a huge asset as Edmonton pushes toward the playoffs.
What did you think of Walman’s first game as an Oiler?

Why did Detroit get rid of this guy???
Mikko looked good on his ass … bahahaha
The sad thing is ….I'm not trying to throw any shade on Walman or Jones…..but Oiler Nation has been saying how soft the team is, for a couple of seasons now. And we watch a couple of guys come in and just play hockey the way you're supposed to…..and it a big deal? More proof the Oil is full of hairdressers that have to go!
Best oiler to wear 96
nurse -walman is gonna be a great pairing for the oilers
Walman: +3, 3 shots, 3 blocks, 2 hits, 29 shifts.
Bouchard: +0, 0 shots, 0 blocks, 0 hits, 22 shifts. 3 giveaways.
Walman was on the ice at the end with Nurse with Oettinger pulled. His responsible play is a plus but also minimizing the high risk play of Bouchard is a double bonus.
Walman and jones were amazing
If Kulak who is having a stellar season, who is able to put up 25 mins a night and shine, is your 3rd pairing D? You’re a deep ass team.
