AIHL wishes Nathan Walker good luck for NHL Playoffs

---

The AIHL would like to wish Nathan Walker and the St Louis Blues all the best for the NHL playoffs, after the Blues secured a wildcard berth for the post-season.

The Blues clinched a playoff spot after a 6-1 regulation win over the Utah Hockey Club earlier this week. The Blues were 7 points out of a wildcard spot at the start of February, but then put together a 21-5-4 record, as well as a club record setting 12 game win-streak, to make the post-season for the 46th time in team history. 

Walker was a big part of that turnaround on the "WTF" 4th line with Radek Faksa and Alexey Toropchenko, posting a career-high 16 points and equaling his career-best of 8 goals in a season.

"He's had a huge year passing the 50-point mark, the 200-games played milestone and then setting the single season hits record for the Blues' franchise - making the playoffs after such a huge turnaround just caps it off," AIHL Media Manager Stephen White said. 

"From everyone at the AIHL, we'd like to wish Nathan and the St Louis Blues the best of luck for the playoffs and here's hoping they can continue their run into the post-season."

The Blues will face the Winnipeg Jets in Game 1 at 8am AEST on Sunday 20th April.
