Jake Walman Avoids Major Injury Tuesday
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (undisclosed) avoided serious injury on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators, according to head coach Kris Knoblauch. Walman exited the game prior to the third period of a 5-4 overtime win. The team also lost center Curtis Lazar (undisclosed) on Tuesday, and he is expected to miss at least one week of action. After picking up Connor Murphy from Chicago earlier this week, the Oilers have a capable replacement ready for Walman if needed on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Health issues have limited Walman to 33 appearances this season. He has recorded 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists), 61 shots, and 53 blocks with a minus-nine rating.
