Washington Capitals: Nathan Walker’s down under playing time

The Washington Capitals drafted Nathan Walker in the third round at 89th overall in 2014. The selection of Walker was historic for the country of Australia, becoming the first Australian to be drafted to the NHL.

Walker became beloved up in Hershey as a member of the Bears and was one key component in their run to the Calder Cup Final in 2016. That year saw Walker record a career-high 41 points (17 goals, 24 assists) in 73 games.

Walker is 5-foot-9, 186 pounds and has a ton of speed and physicality to complement his game.
