Former Capital Nathan Walker is officially a dad. Walker’s wife Tayla gave birth to the couple’s first child, a girl, at 12:50 PM on Saturday. They named her Winta Walker. And she’s a little undersized just like a papa too at 6.8 pounds.
“You will be forever loved baby girl,” Walker wrote on Instagram.
For the first time in more than two years, Nathan Walker has scored an NHL goal. If that sounds bad, keep in mind he’s only played twelve games since the last that happened. The winsome, undersized Aussie has fought for a roster spot in Washington, Edmonton, and now St. Louis. Looks like he’s finally winning that fight.
It is my distinct privilege to introduce you all to Nathan Walker, NHL player and hockey goal scorer.

Capitals and Hershey Bears forward Nathan Walker is an impending Unrestricted Free Agent come July 1st. Currently, Walker is in Australia, acting as an ambassador for the 2019 Ice Hockey Classic, a hockey showcase that seeks to raise awareness and funds for the STOPCONCUSSIONS Foundation in association with Brain Injury Australia.
Logan Swinkels, from Puck Yeah NZ, took time out ahead of the showcase to speak to Walker about everything from his position as ambassador, his experience in the NHL, as well as what he likes to do in his downtime. But it was Walker’s comments about his UFA status that proved most interesting about his intentions once July 1st hits, and his future ambitions.

The Capitals announced on Friday evening that they have recalled winger Nathan Walker from the AHL’s Hershey Bears.
Walker has 34 points in 54 games with Hershey during the 2018-19 season, with 14 goals and 20 assists.
The Capitals’ game Saturday against the New York Islanders is the final one of the Capitals’ regular season and will have no impact on who they will play in the first round of the playoffs. With their win against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday, the Capitals have already clinched first place in the Metropolitan division.
With the stakes low, Reirden was asked at his press conference after Friday’s optional skate about the possibility of some players seeing extra playing time and some regulars getting a rest.
