The Red Wings have signed Jake Walman to a three-year contract extension worth $10.2 million ($3.4M AAV).

Walman was a third-round pick in 2014 and was traded to the Red Wings in the Nick Leddy deal last March. The 27-year-old has taken a massive step forward this year, playing on the top-pair with Moritz Seider for the last few months. Walman has a booming slap shot and is a shot-blocking machine in his own-end. On the year, he's scored five goals with five assists (10 points) with 95 SOG and 77 Blks in 40 games.

He takes on the league-leading Boston Bruins, who are in the midst of a six-game winning streak after a 3-1 win over Vancouver last game.
