ST.

LOUIS Forward Nathan Walker has signed a two-year contract extension with the St.

Louis Blues worth $1.775 million ($887,500 average annual value), the team announced Wednesday.

Walker, 31, is entering the final year of a two-year, $1.55 million contract ($775,000).

In 2024-25, Walker was a key member of the Blues fourth line, scoring eight goals and 16 points in 73 games.

He was also one of the more physical players in the lineup, leading the Blues and ranking No.

7 in the NHL in hits (281) and was tied for second on the team in fighting majors (five).

Louis community and being a Blue, Walker told The Athletic on Wednesday.

The history that this place has its something truly special to me.

To touch back on the culture of the St.

Louis Blues, I think it kind of fits in well with my personality and my character.

Its just a good fit for both sides.

The new deal will take Walker through the 2027-28 season.

Hopefully we can build off what we did last year, Walker added (Photo: Ethan Miller / Getty Images) Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern.
