Matt Walker News
Line Change
Walker in lineup tonight; Marshall out. #Flyers
Walker gets in only his fourth game of the season. The Avs have a few fighters so he may be able to find a sparring partner tonight.
Line Change
#Flyers have recalled (D) Matt Walker from the Phantoms. He will be available to play in tonight’s Flyers-Ducks game in Anaheim.
Look for Walker to replace one of the two rookies on the blue line. He may have some fantasy hockey value due to his proclivity to drop the gloves.
Waiver Move
#Flyers put Matt Walker on re-entry waivers per @renhockey .
Walker could draw back into the lineup if he clears waiver. He may hold some fantasy hockey value as he drops the gloves with regularity.
Call up / Send down
Blog updated with Walker being sent down, according to @PSPhantoms, and Erik Gustafsson and Zac Rinaldo on the way up.
Walker was sent down as a salary cap issue. He could get re-called later in the season.
Line Change
The daily Matt Walker for Andreas Lilja swap is on again.
Walker could drop the gloves tonight but with limited playing time his fantasy hockey value is virtually nonexistent.
Line Change
Matt Walker is in for Andreas Lilja tonight.
Walker is scheduled to make his season debut tonight and should play on the third pairing. He holds no fantasy hockey value.
Line Change
Jody Shelley is acting as the 8th defenseman this morning with Matt Walker. Looks like your two scratches for tonight.
If you own either player, take them out of your lineup.
Line Change
Walker did not skate with the team during Friday’s practice; instead, he did an off-ice workout.
Walker could draw in on the third defensive pairing tonight, subbing in for Andreas Lilja.
Walker did not participate at the morning skate and the Flyers were being rather cryptic as to why. It appears Andreas Lilja will replace him in the lineup.
No word on the extent of Walker's injury. He was held without a point in his four games last season. Andreas Lilja replaces him in the lineup.
Line Change
D pairings: Pronger-Carle; Timonen-Mez; Coby-Walker.
Sounds like Walker is the front-runner for the bottom pairing. He posted no points in his four games as a Philadelphia Flyer last season. No reason to roster him at this point although he might approach 100 PIM over a full season.
Waiver Move
the club also waived center Blair Betts, as well as defensemen Matt Walker and Oskars Bartulis.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while on waivers.
Matt Walker did not practice. Walker played Saturday night in New Jersey but did not appear to incur an injury.
Walker barely played last season which means the coaching staff likely eases him back into the lineup. If he plays for the Flyers this season, don't expect much offensive production.
Holmgren was very high on D Matt Walker, who is in much better shape (and healthier) than last year. #Flyers
Walker will have an uphill battle trying to make the team out of camp after missing all but 4 games last season. Regardless, with only 4 goals in 310 NHL games, his fantasy value remains nonexistent.
