Sean Walker - NHL News & Rumors

Dishes pair of helpers Walker logged two assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Impact Walker had been limited to two helpers over his prior 12 contests. He earned his first multi-point effort Saturday by assisting on goals from Dmitry Orlov and Jack Roslovic. Walker has been a fixture in a bottom-four role this season, earning eight points, 57 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 35 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 36 appearances. His offense is too low for consideration in many fantasy formats.

Logs assist in win Walker notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Walker has earned two assists over six games in December. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 43 shots on net, 27 hits, 32 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 30 appearances. He hasn't reached the level of offense he displayed last season (29 points in 81 regular-season games), and Walker's third-pairing role with minimal power-play time gives him little chance of turning things around any time soon.

Snaps eight-game point drought Walker scored his second goal of the season Friday in a 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Walker registered his 100th career point when he beat Sergei Bobrovsky with a wrist shot from the blue line at 6:24 of the second period. Walker was mired in an eight-game scoring drought before he got on the board Friday, and it was his first goal since Oct. 31. The 30-year-old skates on the third defensive pairing and receives very little power-play time, so his role has kept his offensive output limited. The right-shot defenseman has chipped in two goals and two assists through 23 games.

Impact This was Walker's second point in 13 games this season, with his other being a goal Oct. 31 versus the Bruins. The 29-year-old defenseman has often filled a third-pairing role with minimal power-play usage, which doesn't bode well for his chances of picking up the pace on offense. Walker has added 22 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating.

Impact Walker scored at 7:36 of the third period, earning his first goal and point as a Hurricane.

He's added 14 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating. Walker had a career year in 2023-24 with 29 points over 81 regular-season outings between the Flyers and the Avalanche.

Makes five-year commitment Walker signed a five-year, $18 million contract with the Hurricanes on Monday.

Impact Walker had 10 goals, 29 points, 50 PIM, 116 hits and 127 blocks across 81 regular-season games between Philadelphia and Colorado in 2023-24. The 29-year-old might serve in a top-four capacity with Carolina, but he probably won't get much ice time on the power play.

Reaches 10-goal mark Walker scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots, added two hits and logged four PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Stars.

Impact Walker flung a puck from the point and scored just 1:59 into the game. The defenseman has four goals and two assists over 14 contests since he was traded from the Flyers to the Avalanche. He's been a good fit in a bottom-four role, and it hasn't ruined his scoring pace despite losing an average of 2:15 of time per game with his new team. Walker is at 28 points, 144 shots on net, 108 hits, 117 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 77 appearances this season.

Cleared to play against Jackets Walker (upper body) will be in action versus Columbus on Monday, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Walker was questionable to play Monday after being limited to just 11:15 of ice time against the Predators on Saturday due to his upper-body injury. In 10 games with the Avs, the blueliner has notched three goals, one assist and 27 shots, though his offensive upside is limited due to a lack of power-play opportunities.
