Oilers' Jake Walman: Lands on long-term IR

Walman (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday.

Walman has already been out of the lineup for the last seven games, and only needs to miss three more, so his placement on LTIR is unlikely to impact his return to action. While the team hasn't provided an update beyond calling the blueliner week-to-week, fantasy managers can probably expect him to be sidelined at least through the Christmas break.
