Walker logged an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Walker helped out on an Alexei Toropchenko tally in the third period. The assist was Walker's first of the year to go with three goals across 10 appearances. The 29-year-old forward continues to occupy a bottom-six role, though he's been over 10 minutes of ice time in four of the last five games. He's added 11 shots on net, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Walker scored both St. Louis goals in a 5-2 loss Thursday to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals came on deflections of points shots with him parked in front of the net. Walker is an unlikely scorer -- these were his second and third goals of the season. He has played in parts of seven seasons, but has just 118 NHL games under his belt. This season, Walker has three goals in seven games while averaging 8:53 a game. That kind of ice time puts him at risk of sitting out, so don't treat this outburst as a reason to snag him, at least not yet. Walker needs to secure a roster spot before anyone should consider him.

Walker signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract extension with the Blues on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker's new contract is a one-way deal, so he could see more top-level action over the next two seasons. The 29-year-old forward has appeared in only two contests with St. Louis this year, picking up one goal over that span.

Walker opens the scoring in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was called up from the AHL on New Year's Day, was a healthy scratch on Thursday and was able to dress on Saturday against the Hurricanes. He took advantage of his opportunity. While Walker played the least amount of minutes amongst all skaters, he scored a breakaway goal on Antti Raanta 11:04 into the first period to open the scoring. This proved to be enough for the Blues to go into overtime and eventually win in a shootout. Walker looks to stick with the big club after a plus-1 rating, 7:28 of ice time and two shots on net.

Walker was brought up from AHL Springfield on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has generated 13 goals and 29 points over 30 AHL contests this campaign. In 56 games with the Blues during the 2022-23 season, he compiled 10 points, 43 shots on goal, 35 blocked shots and 82 hits.

Walker was waived by St. Louis on Sunday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker spent most of last year in a bottom-six role with the Blues; he scored two goals and 10 points in 56 games. The 29-year-old could split time between the AHL and NHL levels during the 2023-24 campaign.

Walker registered an assist in a 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker ended his eight-game pointless streak with his helper Sunday but is still stuck in a 21-game goal drought. During his goal slump, the winger managed just 20 shots. If he doesn't start shooting the puck more, Walker's goal drought is likely to continue.

Walker scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Walker put the Blues ahead for good with a goal at 13:02 of the second period. It was his first tally of the season, and he's earned both of his points in his last six outings. The 28-year-old has been limited to fourth-line minutes when he's in the lineup, which is no guarantee -- and he could be on his way back to the press box soon if Logan Brown (upper body) pushes Walker for a spot in the lineup. In addition to his two points, Walker has 13 PIM, 27 hits, 17 blocked shots, 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in 19 appearances.

Walker is averaging just 9:50 of ice time this season, his lowest since joining the Blues ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to seeing limited minutes, Walker has been a healthy scratch 13 times this season. Considering when he does crack the lineup he is barely on the ice, the 28-year-old winger figures to remain a low-end fantasy option throughout the 2022-23 campaign.

Walker (wrist) re-signed with St. Louis on a one-year contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker logged 30 games with St. Louis this year, a personal best, in which he recorded eight goals, four assists and 38 shots. If he can cement himself in the lineup this season, Walker could be in line to challenge for the 30-point threshold and would offer decent mid-range fantasy value.
