Top Sean Walker News

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Pots another goal

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Back-to-back two-point games

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Two-point effort on Broadway

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Opens scoring Tuesday

    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.

    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 be worth a look as a well-rounded producer in fantasy.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Healthy for training camp

    Walker (shoulder) appears to be healthy for the start of training camp based on his participation in Thursday's practice, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Walker missed Carolina's final three playoff games last year because of the injury. He finished the 2024-25 regular season with five goals, 16 points, 46 PIM, 91 hits and 90 blocks across 82 regular-season appearances with the Hurricanes. He will likely start the 2025-26 campaign on the second or third pairing.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Battling shoulder injury

    Walker did not play in the final three postseason games due to a shoulder injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Friday.

    Walker had been dealing with a shoulder injury for the entire postseason, but a hit he took during Game 2 against the Capitals in the second round made it worse and forced him out of the lineup. The injury won't require surgery, and he should be ready for training camp in the fall. The 30-year-old scored a goal and added two assists in 12 postseason games.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Out again Wednesday

    Walker (undisclosed) will remain sidelined against the Panthers in Game 5 on Wednesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    Walker will be on the shelf for his third straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. With Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) also missing out, the Canes will need to once again rely on Alexander Nikishin and Scott Morrow to fill out the blue line.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Set to miss out Monday

    Walker (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup for Game 4 against the Panthers on Monday.

    Walker's absence will stretch a blue line that is already without Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed). As a result, both Scott Morrow and Alexander Nikishin will be in the lineup again for the Hurricanes in a must-win Game 4. The 30-year-old Walker had been contributing offensively prior to getting hurt, generating one goal and two assists in his last four outings.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Doubtful for Monday

    Walker (undisclosed) may not play in Game 4 against Florida on Monday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Walker sat out Saturday's 6-2 loss to Florida in Game 3, and he's currently doubtful for Game 4 on Monday. He has earned one goal, two assists, 24 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 16 hits through 12 appearances this postseason. If Walker remains unavailable, Alexander Nikishin will presumably play in Monday's must-win matchup versus the Panthers.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Not expected to play

    Walker (undisclosed) won't play Saturday in Game 3 versus the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Walker participated in part of warmups but ultimately won't be able to suit up for Game 3. The 30-year-old defenseman was a game-time decision after sustaining an injury he was able to partially play through in Game 2. Walker will be replaced by Alexander Nikishin in the lineup Saturday.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Game-time call Saturday

    Walker (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 3 in Florida on Saturday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

    Walker participated in Saturday's morning skate, but he left the ice before the end of practice. Walker was injured in the second period of Game 2 against the Panthers on Thursday, playing only 9:52. Should Walker sit out Saturday's clash, look for rookie Alexander Nikishin to enter the lineup.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Questionable for Saturday

    Walker (undisclosed) is questionable for Game 3 in Florida on Saturday, according to Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.

    Walker was injured in Game 2 on Thursday. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Walker was "better than he thought he would be" and is considered iffy for Game 3. Should Walker be unavailable, look for Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) or Alexander Nikishin to enter the lineup.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Dealing with potential injury

    Walker (undisclosed) may not be available for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Walker was briefly knocked out of Thursday's Game 2, but he was able to complete the contest. The 30-year-old defenseman has had to take on a larger role in the absence of Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) in recent games. Should Walker be unavailable, Chatfield or Alexander Nikishin would be candidates to fill his spot in the lineup.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Two-point effort in Monday's win

    Walker produced a goal and an assist Monday in the Hurricanes' 5-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4 of their second-round series.

    Both points came in the third period as the 'Canes fended off a comeback attempt. Walker had been held off the scoresheet in eight straight games to begin the team's postseason run, and his role on the third pairing doesn't give him much of a fantasy ceiling after a regular season that saw him collect five goals and 16 points while playing all 82 games.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Notches helper Wednesday

    Walker logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Walker ended a six-game slump with his helper, a span in which he went minus-8. He's played a larger role recently with the Hurricanes cycling out defensemen for rest, but he's yet to step out of the lineup himself, though that could happen Thursday versus the Senators. If he plays, he'll have appeared in all 82 games for the first time in his career. Walker is at 16 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 89 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 81 appearances this season.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Scores early in win

    Walker scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

    Walker ended a five-game point drought with the opening tally 6:14 into this contest. The 30-year-old's six shots Wednesday matched his season high. He's up to five goals, 15 points, 128 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 77 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 74 outings in a third-pairing role.
