Top Sean Walker News

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Back in lineup

    Walker (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

    Walker was one of many Carolina players who got the night off Tuesday to rest for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Walker had nine goals, 22 assists, 179 shots on goal, 141 hits and 125 blocked shots over 81 regular-season games this season.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Gets day off Tuesday

    Walker (undsiclosed) will not play in Tuesday's road clash against the Islanders.

    Walker was ruled out close to game time, indicating that he, along with many of Carolina's regular starters, will rest before the postseason. The 31-year-old blueliner was hot prior to Tuesday's game with a six-game point streak. Overall, he has nine goals, 31 points, 179 shots on net, 141 hits and 125 blocked shots across 81 games this season. He'll miss his first game of the campaign Tuesday and just his third regular-season game over the last three years. Walker will likely return to one of Carolina's top defensive pairs ahead of their first-round matchup in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Deposits empty-netter

    Walker tallied an empty-net goal, put two shots on net, picked up two blocked shots and dished out four hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over Utah.

    Walker found the back of Utah's empty net in the final minute of Saturday's contest to seal the 4-1 win for Carolina. The tally brought him up to 30 points across 80 games this season, which is a new career high. Additionally, Saturday's twine finder helped the 31-year-old blueliner extend his point streak to five games. He's also maintained strong category coverage during that span with 10 shots on net, 12 hits and four blocked shots, making him an excellent waiver-wire pickup in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Extends point streak to four

    Walker scored a goal and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Walker found the back of the net just 19 seconds into Thursday's game to extend his point streak to four games. Overall, he is up to eight goals, 29 points, 176 shots on net, 137 hits and 122 blocked shots across 79 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner is having a career year in many major stat categories, and with three games remaining in the regular season, he needs just one point to surpass his current career high. He offers excellent category coverage for fantasy purposes and is a strong waiver-wire pickup for the remainder of the season in leagues where he isn't already rostered.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Generates pair of helpers

    Walker logged two assists, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

    Walker has four helpers over his last three outings. The 31-year-old defenseman is playing a solid all-around role for the Hurricanes and could see an uptick in playing time if the team is cautious with the return of Jalen Chatfield (lower body), who exited Tuesday's game. Walker is at 28 points, one shy of his career high, while adding 173 shots on net, 137 hits, 122 blocked shots and 57 PIM across 78 appearances this season.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Pots OT winner Wednesday

    Walker scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Penguins.

    The veteran blueliner saved Carolina's bacon, helping to set up the tying goal by K'Andre Miller with just under three minutes left in the third period before ripping a one-timer past Stuart Skinner inside the final 30 seconds of OT. Walker has heated up since the Olympic break, and over the last 10 games he's amassed three goals and nine points despite a lack of power-play time. Wednesday's GWG was his first of the season, and just the third of his career.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Finds twine in loss

    Walker scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    Walker's point streak is up to five games (two goals, four assists). The 31-year-old defenseman continues to make the most of a top-four role. He has six goals, 20 points, 133 shots on net, 100 hits, 96 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 63 appearances. While his offense is hot, he'll have some extra appeal in fantasy, but that value is likely to fade before the end of the campaign.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: One of each Wednesday

    Walker scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.

    Walker has a goal and three assists during a three-game point streak, his longest of the season. With Wednesday's effort, he's up to 18 points in 61 appearances, surpassing the 16 points he had in all 82 regular-season contests a year ago. Walker has added 129 shots on net, 99 hits, 93 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-2 rating while playing in a top-four role at even strength.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Nabs assist in win

    Walker notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

    Walker ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old blueliner remains in a top-four role, though he is more of a shutdown defenseman. He's provided 15 points, 125 shots on net, 97 hits, 89 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 59 contests this season, so he'll offer some value in non-scoring areas for fantasy managers in deep formats.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Picks up helper Thursday

    Walker logged an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

    Walker ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old has mostly served as a steady defensive presence for the Hurricanes this season, adding little in the way of offense. He's up to 12 points, 100 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 67 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 44 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Nabs assist in win

    Walker logged an assist and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Walker hasn't scored in 14 games, but he has earned four assists over his last 11 outings. His play from early November was never going to last, but he is still in a top-four role as one of the Hurricanes' most reliable defensemen in his own zone. He's at a total of 10 points, 65 shots on net, 47 hits, 46 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 29 appearances. Considering he had just 16 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25, he's on track for a much better year.

  • 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.
