Jake Walman Out On Tuesday
2 days agoSan Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Philadelphia. Walman, who has notched an impressive 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 31 outings, has resumed skating but isn't ready to rejoin the lineup. Henry Thrun has worked on the first defensive pairing during Walman's absence, with the power-play usage of Timothy Liljegren and Shakir Mukhamadullin increasing. Philadelphia has a lowly 77.9 penalty-killing percentage, making this a favorable matchup for San Jose's power play.
