Walker scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner saved Carolina's bacon, helping to set up the tying goal by K'Andre Miller with just under three minutes left in the third period before ripping a one-timer past Stuart Skinner inside the final 30 seconds of OT. Walker has heated up since the Olympic break, and over the last 10 games he's amassed three goals and nine points despite a lack of power-play time. Wednesday's GWG was his first of the season, and just the third of his career.

Walker scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Walker's point streak is up to five games (two goals, four assists). The 31-year-old defenseman continues to make the most of a top-four role. He has six goals, 20 points, 133 shots on net, 100 hits, 96 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 63 appearances. While his offense is hot, he'll have some extra appeal in fantasy, but that value is likely to fade before the end of the campaign.

Walker scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has a goal and three assists during a three-game point streak, his longest of the season. With Wednesday's effort, he's up to 18 points in 61 appearances, surpassing the 16 points he had in all 82 regular-season contests a year ago. Walker has added 129 shots on net, 99 hits, 93 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-2 rating while playing in a top-four role at even strength.

Walker notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old blueliner remains in a top-four role, though he is more of a shutdown defenseman. He's provided 15 points, 125 shots on net, 97 hits, 89 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 59 contests this season, so he'll offer some value in non-scoring areas for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Walker logged an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Walker ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old has mostly served as a steady defensive presence for the Hurricanes this season, adding little in the way of offense. He's up to 12 points, 100 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 67 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 44 appearances in a top-four role.

Walker logged an assist and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Walker hasn't scored in 14 games, but he has earned four assists over his last 11 outings. His play from early November was never going to last, but he is still in a top-four role as one of the Hurricanes' most reliable defensemen in his own zone. He's at a total of 10 points, 65 shots on net, 47 hits, 46 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 29 appearances. Considering he had just 16 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25, he's on track for a much better year.

Walker scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has three goals and two helpers over his last four contests. This level of scoring won't last for the 30-year-old defenseman, but he's filled in admirably as a top blueliner for the Hurricanes amid the team's ongoing injuries woes on defense. Walker is at six points, 32 shots on net, 31 hits and 23 blocked shots through 15 appearances.

Walker scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Walker's second in as many games. He fired a wrist shot from inside the blue line five seconds after a first-period power play had expired. Walker has back-to-back multi-point games for the first time in the NHL after putting up a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win against the Rangers on Monday. It's his eighth season in the league.

Walker scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After helping to set up Nikolaj Ehlers in the first period for what proved to be the game-winner, Walker potted his own tally late in the second by sneaking a shot through heavy traffic in front of Igor Shesterkin. Walker is getting a look on the top power-play unit with Shayne Gostisbehere (abdomen), Jaccob Slavin (lower body) and K'Andre Miller (lower body) all currently on the shelf, and Tuesday's performance snapped an eight-game point drought for the 30-year-old blueliner. While he has just seven goals and 19 points in 94 regular-season games with Carolina, Walker showed some offensive upside in 2023-24 with the Flyers, collecting six goals and 22 points in 63 contests. He could have some fantasy appeal while getting regular shifts with the man advantage.

Walker scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM, doled out two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Walker will be asked for heavy defensive minutes while Jaccob Slavin (lower body) is out of action, which could be for the entirety of the Hurricanes' six-game road trip. The goal was Walker's first point in three outings this season. The 30-year-old blueliner has added eight hits, six blocks and a minus-2 rating while playing in a top-four role to start 2025-26. If he can find momentum on offense, he may worth a look as a well-rounded producer in fantasy.
