Red Wings Defenseman Injured On Scary Play During Global Series

During the second period of the Global Series matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs chaos erupted. A mad dash to play some defense led to a scary injury for a Red Wings defenseman.

Jake Walman has been one of the most important defensemen for the Red Wings during this season. In 17 games this season Walman has 7 points which puts him on pace for a career high of 33. The mobile defenseman will now likely miss some time.

With the Walman injury, the Red Wings spent the rest of the game down a defenseman. They would end up letting a 2 goal lead slip away and lose 3-2 to the Maple Leafs.

The Red Wings now fall a point behind the Maple Leafs and have an 8-6-3 record. With Walman out the Red Wings will need to find a replacement to take on his minutes in the interim. Top prospect Simon Edvinsson could be a prime candidate to get some games in Walman's absence.
