2025 Fantasy Outlook
Walker chipped in eight goals and a career-high 16 points over 73 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He also had 63 PIM, 72 shots, 61 blocks and a team-high 281 hits. Despite receiving only 12:06 of ice time per game, Walker finished seventh in the league in hits. Walker has carved out a role for himself as a hard-working fourth liner. He can be used in a pinch if fantasy managers require some physicality during the 2025-26 campaign, but he doesn't do enough in other categories to warrant much roster attention. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.775 million contract extension with the Blues in September of 2025.
Lands on injured reserve
Walker was designated for injured reserve after suffering an upper-body injury that will sideline him for at least eight weeks.
ANALYSIS
Given Walker's timeline and the fact that he will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, this likely points to him being out of action through the Olympic break in February. In his last seven outings, the 31-year-old center notched one goal, three assists and five shots while averaging 12:17 of ice time. With Walker on the shelf, the Blues may have to utilize Aleksanteri Kaskimaki even if Pius Suter (lower body) is cleared to play.

Walker has been in the Blues' system since 2019 and has split time between the AHL and NHL. A high-motor player from Australia, Walker has always been efficient with his stints in the NHL, leading to seven goals and six assists across 45 games last year despite playing almost exclusively on the fourth line. The Blues are top-heavy on offense, meaning he's not expected to see a rise in playing time. His fantasy prospects are limited as a result.
