Updated on January 7, 2026 at 11:35am

Walker (upper body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Wednesday in Chicago.

Walker hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 1 due to the injury. He has three goals, nine points, 14 PIM and 95 hits in 25 outings in 2025-26. He'll likely serve on the fourth line Wednesday alongside Alexei Toropchenko and Oskar Sundqvist. Mathieu Joseph is set to be a healthy scratch after playing in St. Louis' past two games.
