Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Makes five-year commitment

Walker signed a five-year, $18 million contract with the Hurricanes on Monday.

Walker had 10 goals, 29 points, 50 PIM, 116 hits and 127 blocked shots across 81 regular-season games between Philadelphia and Colorado in 2023-24. The 29-year-old might serve in a top-four capacity with Carolina, but he probably won't get much ice time on the power play, as Brent Burns and Shayne Gostisbehere figure to handle those duties.
