Tonight's Global Series game turned from a once-in-a-lifetime experience to disaster in mere seconds for one player. <h2>Red Wings Defenseman Exits Global Series After Nasty Collision</h2> The second period of the Global Series game spelled disaster for one Red Wings defenseman after he took a major fall into the goal post. Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman had to be helped off the ice after a scary fall in an awkward position. <q>Walman loses his footing and crashes into the net, hurt on the play. Needed to be helped off the ice...scary moment. Hope he's okay. #LGRW</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RyanHanaWWP/status/1725614745833673004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1725614745833673004%7Ctwgr%5Ede26eaab6983da8cafb850c761462088113cd2fa%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bladeofsteel.com%2FDetroit-Red-Wings-defender-needs-help-off-the-ice-after-scary-collision-with-net-301103'> </a></blockquote></div> Walman did not return to the game leaving the Red Wings down a player for the rest of the game. <h2>Red Wings Fall Short On Global Stage</h2> After being tied when Walman exited the Red Wings would snatch a two-goal lead. Eventually, they would let the lead slip away and lose 3-2 on a John Tavares game-winning goal. With Walman's 20 minutes a night now needing to be filled the Red Wings will likely look to fill it by committee. One player who could get an opportunity is a former first-round pick. Former top pick Simon Edvinsson has been playing well in the AHL and could be primed for a call-up. Edvinsson had 9 games in the NHL last season where he accumulated 2 points. He could get another shot to show why he belongs.
