Provides assist Walker logged an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
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.

Nets first goal with new team Walker scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Bruins.
Impact Walker scored at 7:36 of the third period, earning his first goal and point as a Hurricane. The 29-year-old defenseman signed a five-year, $18 million contract in free agency, but he's mainly seen bottom-four usage (16:19 per game) over nine appearances to begin the season. 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.

Returns to lineup Walker notched an assist and two blocked shots during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact After missing the third period of Saturday's game due to a upper-body injury, Walker remained in his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Jack Johnson. Walker finished with an assist, three shots on net, two blocked shots and an even rating in 16:35 of ice time. This was only the fifth point for Walker since the beginning of March.

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.

Impact Walker didn't play in the third period after exiting late in the second. It's unclear if he will be able to travel with the Avalanche for their upcoming three-game road trip. If he can't play Caleb Jones could enter the lineup.
