Walker hasn't recorded a point over his last nine games.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has seven goals and 10 points in 57 contests this season. He's averaged just 14:46 of ice time in 2022-23, and his role has been trending downward with him averaging 13:03 over his last nine outings. With his limited responsibilities, Walker isn't likely to make regular offensive contributions.

Walker scored a goal on two shots and blocked five shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Walker had gone 15 games without a goal and mustered just one assist in that span. His second-period tally Monday held up as the game-winner, the first such goal of his career. For the season, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to 10 points, 68 shots on net, 73 blocked shots, 53 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 48 contests in a bottom-four role.

Walker has been held off the scoresheet in his last 10 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Walker does have 13 hits and 19 blocks over that 10-game span though, which gives him two goals, nine points, 52 hits and 65 blocks in 46 contests this season. He's averaging just 15:05 of ice time this season, which is down from 18:33 over 123 contests from 2019-20 through 2021-22. Although he should continue to make regular contributions in terms of hits and blocks, his scoring pace isn't likely to increase meaningfully unless his role with the Kings grows.

Walker notched an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Walker set up Viktor Arvidsson's third-period tally. With three points over his last eight games, Walker continues to provide a little bit of depth offense from a third-pairing role. The 28-year-old blueliner is at two goals, seven helpers, 47 shots on net, 26 PIM, 46 blocked shots, 39 hits and a minus-4 rating through 36 contests. He'll continue to compete for playing time, but it looks like he has the inside edge to stay in the lineup over Jacob Moverare.

Walker scored a goal and added four PIM in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Walker tallied at 14:20 of the third period to force overtime. The 28-year-old has a pair of points in his last four games since he's returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The defenseman is up to two tallies, eight points, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 33 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 32 contests. He's likely to remain in a third-pairing role, competing with Alexander Edler and Jordan Spence for playing time.

Walker posted an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Walker was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he retook a place in the lineup over Jordan Spence. In the first period, Walker took a shot that Gabriel Vilardi deflected in for the Kings' first goal of the contest. It's been a bit of a sputtering first half of the season for Walker, who has a goal, six assists, 40 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 29 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 29 contests. He's mostly played on the third pairing this season after being a top-four fixture for much of the three previous campaigns.

Walker notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 9-8 overtime loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Walker helped out on a Carl Grundstrom goal in the second period. This was Walker's fourth point (one goal, three assists) in his last eight games, but he's also gone minus-4 in that span. The 28-year-old continues to see third-pairing minutes as he has for much of the season. He's at five points, 28 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-4 rating in 21 contests overall.

Walker scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Walker tied the game at 3-3 at 6:12 of the third period. The goal was his first of the season, and he's picked up three points in his last five outings. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to four points, 23 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 19 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating in 18 contests overall. He's been mainly a bottom-four option so far -- fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for his output.

Walker's role with the Kings has been marginal this season.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has been a healthy scratch in four of the Kings' 12 games, and when he has been in the lineup, he's averaged just 14:17 of ice time. That's a substantial drop compared to his average of 18:34 in 123 games from 2019-20 through 2021-22. Unless his role with the team grows as the season continues, he's unlikely to come close to his career-high of 24 points, which was set in 2018-19. Currently he has no points, nine blocks and 11 hits in eight games this season.

Walker hasn't been given much to do by Los Angeles this season.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has been a healthy scratch in four of the Kings' first 12 games and when he has been in the lineup, he's averaged just 14:17 of ice time. Walker has never logged big minutes in the NHL, but this would would still be a career-low for him if his ice time doesn't increase. He missed most of the 2021-22 campaign due to ACL and MCL injuries and in 2020-21, he averaged 18:10 of ice time over 47 games. He has no points, 11 shots, nine blocks and 11 hits so far this season. At his height, he had 24 points in 2019-20, but with his current role he can't be expected do contribute much of anything offensively.
