Walker scored an even-strength goal on two shots in addition to logging four hits and one blocked shot in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Walker slammed home a rebound to tie the score at 2-2 at 5:56 of the third period. The goal was Walker's first since Nov. 21, a span of 15 games. It was the second time this season that Walker has recorded a point in back-to-back games, but his offensive contributions will likely remain limited so long as he continues to serve in a fourth-line capacity. The Australian center has chipped in four goals and seven points through 32 games.

Walker registered a shorthanded assist and six hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Walker had gone 14 games without a point entering Friday. The drought almost reached 15, but the 30-year-old forward was able to feed Colton Parayko for a shorthanded empty-netter. Walker is up to six points, 30 shots on net, 107 hits, 17 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 31 appearances. The helper was his first career shorthanded point. Walker remains a fixture on the Blues' fourth line.

Walker's point drought reached 14 games when he was limited to three hits in Monday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has 44 hits and 11 PIM during the slump, with his last scoring contribution being a goal Nov. 21 versus the Sharks. He's been scratched just once in that span. The 30-year-old has worked well on the fourth line this year as a checking forward. He has just five points to go with 101 hits, 30 shots on net, 17 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 30 appearances.

Walker scored a goal on his only shot in 10:49 of ice time Thursday in a 3-2 shootout win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Walker opened the scoring Thursday after Yaroslav Askarov mishandled the puck just 11 seconds into the contest. Walker's offensive upside is limited when factoring in his fourth-line line role, but he's capable of chipping in from time to time. Furthermore, the left-shot forward hasn't come out of the lineup since being a healthy scratch in four consecutive games between Oct. 22-29. Walker has recorded three goals, two assists and a minus-1 rating through 16 outings.

Walker scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Walker snapped a five-game slump with the third-period tally, which tied the game at 2-2. The 30-year-old has meshed well with Radek Faksa and Alexei Toropchenko as a checking trio. Through 13 appearances, Walker has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 52 hits and an even plus-minus rating. His career high in points is 13 over 45 contests in 2023-24, but he's started well enough to be in position to surpass that mark this season.

Walker scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-liner tied the game at 1-1 midway through the third period by banging home the rebound on a Philip Broberg shot. Walker continues to bounce in and out of the St. Louis lineup -- he's suited up for six of the team's first 11 games this season -- but he's been physical when he gets a chance, piling up 20 hits to go along with two points, seven shots on net, four PIM, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating.

Walker notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Walker set up Radek Faksa's goal, which sparked the Blues' third-period rally. Those two forwards, along with Alexei Toropchenko, have formed an effective fourth line early in the season. Walker doesn't bring a lot of offense -- his career high is 13 points from 45 games last year -- but he can add a physical presence. The 30-year-old has struggled to keep his place in the lineup, but the Blues' lack of forward depth this year could help him earn a career year.

Walker had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The depth forward had gone 11 games without a point before his third multi-point game of the season. It brings Walker to seven goals and 12 points in 44 contests, the latter of which ties a career high for the 30-year-old. At this point in his career, you know what you're getting with Walker. He plays around 11 minutes per game, doesn't score frequently and hasn't topped 56 appearances in a season.

Walker tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Walker tied the game 1-1 midway through the first period, beating Justus Annunen with a wrister through traffic for his first goal since Feb. 17. The 30-year-old Walker added a second point with an assist on Alexei Toropchenko's marker in the second. Walker came into Tuesday with just two points in his previous 13 contests. He's up to six goals and 11 points, one shy of a career high, through 32 games in a fourth-line role this season.

Walker scored a goal and dished out three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was called up from AHL Springfield on Jan. 1 and has played in 15 straight games for the big club, recording four goals and an assist while registering 33 hits. The 30-year-old's offensive touch is a welcomed addition to the bottom six. He appears to have decent job security for now.
