WASHINGTON– A Hershey Bears’ player has been called up to join the Washington Capitals on their playoff run.

Walker, 24, made his NHL debut earlier this season, becoming the first Australian player to take the ice in the NHL.
In seven games for the Capitals, Walker scored a goal and had an even plus-minus rating.
During his 40 games with the Hershey Bears this season, Walker had 9 goals and 13 assists.
