Head coach Todd McLellan said Sunday that Walker (face) is expected to miss extended time, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker took a slapshot to the face from Wild defenseman Matt Dumba during Thursday's loss. As expected, he'll miss a few games, and McLellan didn't provide a definitive timeline for his return. Matt Roy (upper body) will also miss "extended time," so Austin Strand and Mark Alt may enter the lineup.
