Sean Walker Fantasy Stats

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker missed the final three postseason games due to a shoulder injury. Walker revealed that he sustained a shoulder injury late in the regular season, which had been improving during the playoffs before he re-aggravated it in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Florida Panthers. The 30-year-old said he was hoping to return to action if Carolina advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals. He will not require surgery and should be fully ready for the start of training camp in the fall. Walker played his first season with the Hurricanes in 2024-25, recording 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 82 appearances, along with 145 shots, 90 blocks, and 91 hits.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker (undisclosed) will remain absent for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Florida Panthers, missing a third consecutive contest. On Tuesday, there was optimism that either Walker or Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) could return for Wednesday's elimination game, but both are still unavailable for the Hurricanes. Rookies Alexander Nikishin and Scott Morrow will continue to play, with the former looking like the better option for DFS competitions. Alexander Nikishin finished Monday's 3-0 win in Game 4 against the Panthers with one assist, one block, and five hits across 18:53 of ice time.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker (undisclosed) could be ready to return to action in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Florida Panthers. Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports that either Walker or Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) could be back on the Hurricanes blue line as the team attempts to fight off elimination for the second time. Walker has missed two games, while Chatfield has not seen any action in the series so far. Youngsters Scott Morrow and Alexander Nikishin have filled the vacant spots in defense. Morrow recorded a mere 8:33 of ice time during Monday's 3-0 victory against Florida and is likely the first candidate to exit from the lineup should Carolina receive defensive reinforcements.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive contest on Monday against the Florida Panthers. After losing Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) in the Washington series, the Hurricanes defense took another hit with Walker's injury in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. It's unclear when either player will be ready to return to the lineup. Walker's absence has given Alexander Nikishin a new opportunity to make an impression with the Hurricanes. However, the former KHL standout had a poor outing in Saturday's Game 3 against the Panthers, going minus-four in a 6-2 loss.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker (undisclosed) has been labeled a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against the Florida Panthers. The 30-year-old sustained an undisclosed injury in Thursday's Game 2 defeat, logging only 9:52 of action. However, Walker took part in the morning skate and seems to be ready to play. In the playoffs, Walker has made 12 appearances, scoring one goal and three points, while racking up 16 blocks and 16 hits. If Walker experiences a setback and cannot play Saturday night, the Hurricanes will probably use Alexander Nikishin as his replacement.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker (undisclosed) may not be available for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Florida Panthers on Saturday. He was injured in Thursday's Game 2, logging under 10 minutes of action. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour described Walker as "a little iffy" for Saturday's game. The 30-year-old has logged 16 blocks and 16 hits in 12 playoff outings this year, contributing one goal and two assists on the offensive end. Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) is close to a return and might be Walker's replacement in the lineup for Game 3. At the same time, Alexander Nikishin is another option for Brind'Amour, who needs to tighten up the defense after watching his team allow five goals in each of the first two games in the series.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Sean Walker sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's entertaining 7-4 victory over Nashville. He was limited to 11:15 of ice time in the contest, finishing with three shots, one block, three hits, and a minus-one rating. Walker made his 10th appearance for the Avalanche since his trade from Philadelphia at the beginning of the month. He's made an impact at both ends of the ice with four points (three goals, one assist), 14 blocks, and 15 hits. But the 29-year-old might have to sit out some action now. Walker's absence would open the door for Caleb Jones to rejoin the lineup.

The Philadelphia Flyers and Colorado Avalanche are working on a trade that would send defenseman Sean Walker to the Avalanche. The 29-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and it's unclear if the move carries with it a contract extension from the Avs. Walker is in the midst of his best NHL season as he has notched a career-high six goals alongside 16 assists and 109 shots across 63 games played. He has added 86 hits and 98 blocks to his ledger while he is a healthy plus-nine on the campaign. The potential move comes at the same time the Flyers are reportedly discussing a contract extension for fellow blueliner Nick Seeler.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are two teams that have reached out to the Philadelphia Flyers in regards to defenseman Sean Walker. The Tampa Bay Lightning and at least one other Eastern Conference team have reportedly shown interest in the right-shot blueliner, as well. The Flyers are holding firm on a tall asking price for Walker who has impressed in his first season with the Flyers following a five-year run with the Los Angeles Kings. The 29-year-old has registered five goals and 17 points while skating in all 50 Flyers contests this season but has also added 53 hits and 69 blocked shots to his ledger. The Flyers have surprised to a 25-19-6 record on the season, good for third in the Metropolitan Division, but dropped their final five games before the All-Star break and are still operating with the future in mind.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Sean Walker could fetch as much as a first-round pick in a trade this season, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. "You look at Sean Walker of the Philadelphia Flyers, he's a really strong right-shot defenseman, the Flyers love him, but it's expected they can command as much as a first-round draft pick for him," Dreger said on TSN's Insider Trading. Walker is in the midst of a fine season that has seen him contribute 11 points, 54 shots, 31 hits, 39 blocks, and a plus-seven rating across 26 games in his first season in Philadelphia. He is already just two points shy of matching his production across 70 games with the Kings last season. However, with the Flyers currently sitting second in the Metropolitan Division, a trade of a valuable asset such as Walker is likely not imminent.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Sean Walker took his point streak to four games on Sunday by delivering two assists in a 5-2 win over Columbus. Impressively, he had one helper on the power play and one in a short-handed situation early in the second frame. Walker added three shots on goal and two hits to his account in close to 20 minutes of action while also registering two penalty minutes. The former Kings player has fit in very well among his new group and has been playing a big role at both ends. The 29-year-old is on pace for a career year offensively, having amassed 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 18 games, and Walker's contributions include 28 hits and 31 blocks.
