Calgary Flames prospect Walker Duehr is fast. Deceptively fast.
The 23-year-old winger has put his impressive wheels on display on a consistent basis throughout the pre-season, routinely blowing by defenders while carrying the puck down the right side.
You’d be forgiven if you didn’t expect much out of the 6’3″, 211-pound Minnesota State Mavericks alum entering his first NHL training camp. His numbers in college, while respectable, don’t exactly jump off the page.
Duehr never scored more than 10 goals in a season at Mankato. He only cracked the 0.5 points-per-game barrier as a senior, registering 10 goals and seven helpers in 28 contests.
