Sean Walker - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Impact 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 appearances with the Hurricanes. He will likely start the 2025-26 campaign on the second or third pairing.

Battled 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.

Impact Walker had been dealing with a shoulder injury for the entire postseason, but a hit he took during Game 2 against the Capitals 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 his 12 postseason games.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 for the Canes in a must-win Game 4. For his part, the 30-year-old Walker had been contributing offensively prior to getting hurt, generating one goal and two assists in his last four outings.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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 on Thursday, playing only 9:52. Should Walker sit out Saturday's clash, look for rookie Alexander Nikishin to enter the lineup in place of Walker.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Walker was briefly knocked out 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.

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.

Impact 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.
