A former Detroit Red Wings defenseman has found himself in trouble with the Edmonton Oilers in the midst of an intense playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Edmonton Oilers are once again facing off against the Los Angeles Kings in this years NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, but both sides now have new faces.
Edmonton and Los Angeles both made big additions at the trade deadline, including a former member of the Detroit Red Wings who hasn't been panned out to be exactly what they imagined when acquiring him.
During Game 4 the Oilers played catch up once again and mounted another comeback with a 4-3 win in overtime, but it didn't come without discipline for the former Detroit Red Wings defenseman, Jake Walman.

According to Sportsnet, the Oilers and head coach Kris Knoblauch singled out all players but three to be included in a closed-door team meeting.
The meeting included defenseman Jake Walman, who has failed to produce since being acquired by the Oilers, and each player was demanded to step up their game.
The meeting is with everybody but McDavid, Draisaitl, Kris Knoblauch, and Janmark. I guess he's off the hook.

Walman was also in the center of a controversy in Game 1, when he would take a delay of game penalty that would ultimately cost his team the game.
The Oilers alongside former Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman are set for face-off at 10PM Tuesday for a highly anticipated Game 5, where everybody's facing the pressure following the closed-door call out to players.
