St. Louis Blues re-sign Nathan Walker

 
















The St. Louis Blues have re-signed left-wing Nathan Walker to a two-year contract extension, worth $1.55 million. Walker, 29, currently has played 2 games with 1 goal, 1 point, and a plus 1 in 2023-2024. Walker started the season in the AHL with the Springfield Thunderbirds. In Springfield, Walker played 30 games with 13 goals, 16 assists, 29 points, and a plus 9. 


Walker helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2017-2018. 

Walker had his best season in 2021-2022, with the Blues. That season, Walker played 30 games with 8 goals, 4 assists, 12 points, and a plus 1. The goals and points were both career highs for Walker. In 2022-2023, Walker had career highs in both games (56) and assists (8). 

Overall, Walker is currently in his 7th NHL season. Walker has played 113 games with 14 goals, 14 assists, 28 points, and a plus 7. In the playoffs, Walker has played 5 games with 1 assist, 1 point, and a plus 2. 

It's nice to see Walker earn a contract extension. It could mean the end of left-wing Sammy Blais as a Blue.
