Walker scored a goal during 17:48 TOI in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has already matched last year's goal total with three scores through 12 games, adding three assists as well. It took him 39 contests to reach that mark last year. It's a small sample, but Walker's entire game has improved this season, too, as Walker has a 59.0 Corsi For percentage thus far compared to a 49.6 mark last year.

Walker notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Walker now has a point in four straight games (two goals and assists each) to go with 13 shots in that span. The Bowling Green product is a name on the rise in his second NHL season. He could help fantasy owners in deeper formats while he's on an early-season hot streak.

Walker picked up two assists in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

This smooth-skating former NCAA puckmover now has points in three straight games. Walker's ice time is climbing and while he's not getting power-play time, he does have fantasy value. Walker has two goals and two assists in those three games.

Walker scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Walker might have been the brightest spot in a very dark game for the Kings, as he was their only player to keep a positive rating. The defender now has a pair of goals in three games to start the year.

Walker scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman's first goal of the year came in the first period, extending the Kings' lead to 2-0 at the time. Walker added two hits and two blocked shots in the contest. He had only 10 points in 39 games last season, so there's not a huge expectation for offense from the 24-year-old.

Walker scored his third goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Walker found himself in the press box for three straight games recently, but has responded in his second game back in the lineup with the goal. He has eight points in 32 games in his rookie year, firing 44 shots on goal and collecting 35 hits as well. The third-pairing defenseman has yet to make a significant splash for fantasy purposes.

Walker (face) will play Thursday against the Predators, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker will return after missing the past two games with his facial injury. The rookie has been a healthy spectator for his fair share of contests, but he's known as a fiery competitor with a willingness to improve his game, so expect him to steadily build upon the four points that he's garnered through 22 contests with the parent club this season.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has missed two games after taking a puck to the face on Feb. 14. It's unclear how long he'll be out, but after Monday, the Kings are off until Thursday in Nashville.

Walker (face) isn't in the projected lineup for Saturday's game against the Bruins, NHL.com's Dan Greenspan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker is still recovering after taking a puck to the face during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks, so Matt Roy will draw into the lineup and make his NHL debut against Boston. The 24-year-old blueliner will hope to heal up in time for Monday's matchup with Washington.

Walker took a puck to the face during Thursday's game against Vancouver and some swelling has led to questions surrounding his status Saturday against the Bruins, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately, the Kings have ruled out a concussion from the incident, but he's not out of the woods just yet. The team will reevaluate Walker after another night of rest, so a definitive word on his status won't arrive until game day.
