EDGE Analysis

Walker was sent down to make room for the return of Travis Boyd (foot) from the injured list. The 24-year-old Aussie had one assist in three games with the Caps this year and will get a chance to hone his skills with more ice time in the minors as he awaits another crack at the big leagues.
