NATHAN WALKER NEWS

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.

Impact 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.

Nets unassisted goal Walker scored a goal and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Walker found the back of the net under two minutes into regulation to give the Blues an early lead. His unassisted tally brought his season totals up to three goals and six points through 19 games this season. While his offensive output has been limited in a role on the fourth line, Walker's presence has been felt with 75 hits this season. It's just shy of the pace he would need to match his 281-hit campaign in 73 regular-season games a year ago, but with two goals in his past four games, he could be a long-term depth forward option in deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

Ends point drought Tuesday Walker scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Walker snapped a six-game point drought, as well as an eight-game goalless streak, with a backhander in the second period that went right past Dustin Wolf. This was Walker's second goal of the season, but as a bottom-six forward who earns most of his upside through physicality stats, Walker isn't going to carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats going forward.

Nets goal Thursday Walker scored a goal, put three shots on net and dished out three hits in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Walker's tally was the first of the third period and helped spark a late comeback effort that ultimately fell short. While the team fell short, his goal off a feed from linemate Oskar Sundqvist is noteworthy now that the latter has returned to the lineup from a lower-body injury. If Walker, who already has three points through seven games, can continue to find ways to score with the fourth line back at full strength, his outlook in deep leagues formatted to value banger stats is much brighter. Here's a reminder: Walker was seventh in the league last season with 281 hits and hasn't shown any signs of shying away from his play style with 27 thumps so far this year.

Garners helper in win Walker recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Walker has started 2025-26 on the fourth line, though the Blues have leaned heavily on their top players early in the campaign. He shouldn't have much trouble staying in the lineup while Alexei Toropchenko (upper body) and Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) are out. Walker set career highs in points (16), hits (281), PIM (63) and games played (73) in the 2024-25 regular season, which may give him some appeal in deeper banger formats.

Blues sign forward Nathan Walker to two-year contract extension Walker would have been an unrestricted free agent after the 2025-26, but will instead be signed through the 2027-28 season in St. Louis.

Signs two-year deal Walker inked a two-year, $1.775 million contract extension with the Blues on Wednesday.

Impact Walker still has a season left on his existing two-year, $1.55 million deal, so he's now locked up through 2027-28. The 31-year-old had eight goals, 16 points, 63 PIM and 281 hits in 73 regular-season appearances with St. Louis in 2024-25. Walker should see work on the Blues' fourth line, but he might occasionally be a healthy scratch.

Contributes helper Sunday Walker logged an assist, three shots on goal and nine hits in Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Jets in Game 7.

Impact Walker set up Radek Faksa's late goal in the second period, which put the Blues up 3-1. The 31-year-old Walker had four points over seven postseason contests, all of them coming in Game 5 or later in the first-round series. That burst of offense is not the norm -- he had a career-high 16 points in 73 appearances in the regular season as a fourth-liner, which is likely the role he'll fill again in 2025-26.

Nets another goal Friday Walker scored a goal on three shots, dished out three hits, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 6.

Impact Walker has scored three times over the last two games. The 31-year-old is still in a fourth-line role, but his line with Alexei Toropchenko and Radek Faksa is providing valuable depth scoring late in the first round. In addition to his three goals, Walker has eight shots on net, 31 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-4 rating over six playoff outings.

Tallies twice in loss Walker scored two goals, doled out seven hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets in Game 5.

Impact Walker snapped a 15-game goal drought with his tally at 3:42 of the first period to tie the score at 1-1. He lit the lamp again late in the third, but it was too late to spark a comeback effort. Walker had a career year in 2024-25 with eight goals, 16 points, 281 hits, 72 shots on net and 63 PIM over 73 regular-season outings as a steady physical presence on the fourth line. In addition to his two goals, he has 20 PIM, a plus-1 rating, five shots on net, 28 hits and 10 blocked shots over five playoff outings.
