Perry Nelson-USA TODAY Sports - Former Flyers D-Man Scores First Two Goals For Avalanche; Almost Completes Hat Trick In OTFormer Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Sean Walker scored his first two goals for the Colorado Avalanche last night.
Walker was dealt to the Avalanche for a first-round pick and center Ryan Johansen, who won't play for the Flyers.
Against the Edmonton Oilers last night, Walker scored the first two goals for his new team.
His elite skating ability makes him a perfect fit for a Colorado team filled with speedsters. He meshes in with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Mikko Rantanen.
After he gave the Avalanche the lead, his team fell behind 2-1. Walker would tie the game at 14:40 of the third period and push the game to overtime.
While the Avalanche scored the game-winning goal with 0.5 seconds left in OT, Walker had a partial breakaway moments before.
With his new team, Walker has two goals and one assist in four games. He put up six goals and 16 assists in 63 games with the Flyers. Between the two teams, Walker has a career season with 25 points. He had 24 points in 70 games with the Los Angeles Kings in 2019-20.
