Walker logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended a six-game slump with his helper, a span in which he went minus-8. He's played a larger role recently with the Hurricanes cycling out defensemen for rest, but he's yet to step out of the lineup himself, though that could happen Thursday versus the Senators. If he plays, he'll have appeared in all 82 games for the first time in his career. Walker is at 16 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 89 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 81 appearances this season.

Walker scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended a five-game point drought with the opening tally 6:14 into this contest. The 30-year-old's six shots Wednesday matched his season high. He's up to five goals, 15 points, 128 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 77 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 74 outings in a third-pairing role.

Walker scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Walker's fourth goal of the season, two of which have come over the last four games. He also has an assist in that span -- the 30-year-old blueliner appears to be thawing out on offense after earning just three assists from Jan. 2 to March 9, a stretch of 27 contests. Overall, he has 14 points, 115 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 73 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 68 appearances.

Walker scored a goal on four shots, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended an 11-game point drought with the goal, which was his first tally since Nov. 29 versus the Panthers. The defenseman has been a fixture in the Hurricanes' lineup this season, but he has struggled on offense. He has just 12 points with 108 shots on net, 74 blocked shots, 71 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 65 appearances. Last year's 29 points over 81 games between the Flyers and Avalanche will likely be considered an anomaly in Walker's career, but regression has hit him harder than expected in 2024-25, especially considering the strength of the Hurricanes' roster.

Walker recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has two helpers over his last six outings. The 30-year-old defenseman has struggled to generate much offense in a third-pairing role for the bulk of 2024-25. He's now at 11 points, 91 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 51 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 53 appearances. Without an uptick in scoring, his fantasy upside is severely limited.

Walker notched an assist, six shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. He took a shot that banked in past Jake Oettinger off the body of Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Walker has been fairly limited on offense this season with 10 points and 812 shots on net over 48 outings. The 30-year-old has added 54 blocked shots, 49 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating while filling a bottom-four role.

Walker logged two assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Walker had been limited to two helpers over his prior 12 contests. He earned his first multi-point effort Saturday by assisting on goals from Dmitry Orlov and Jack Roslovic. Walker has been a fixture in a bottom-four role this season, earning eight points, 57 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 35 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 36 appearances. His offense is too low for consideration in many fantasy formats.

Walker notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has earned two assists over six games in December. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 43 shots on net, 27 hits, 32 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 30 appearances. He hasn't reached the level of offense he displayed last season (29 points in 81 regular-season games), and Walker's third-pairing role with minimal power-play time gives him little chance of turning things around any time soon.

Walker scored his second goal of the season Friday in a 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Walker registered his 100th career point when he beat Sergei Bobrovsky with a wrist shot from the blue line at 6:24 of the second period. Walker was mired in an eight-game scoring drought before he got on the board Friday, and it was his first goal since Oct. 31. The 30-year-old skates on the third defensive pairing and receives very little power-play time, so his role has kept his offensive output limited. The right-shot defenseman has chipped in two goals and two assists through 23 games.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
