EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has 10 goals and 30 points in 43 appearances in 2025-26. If he can't play Monday, then Sam Lafferty will probably draw into the lineup.

Burakovsky scored a power-play goal on four shots in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky ended a seven-game goal drought with his third-period tally. He's earned six points over four outings in January, turning a corner after a fairly quiet December. The winger is up to 10 goals, 29 points (10 on the power play), 53 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 38 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Burakovsky notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has five helpers over his last three games, though his two Sunday came at even strength rather than on the power play like the previous three. The 30-year-old winger is clicking with Tyler Bertuzzi on the top line currently, and they'll be leaned on heavily while the Blackhawks are thin at forward. Burakovsky is up to 28 points, 49 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Burakovsky registered two power-play assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky ended a four-game slump with the pair of helpers. This was his first multi-point effort since Dec. 12 versus the Blues. The 30-year-old winger continues to play in a top-six role, though his ice time has dropped over the last three contests. For the season, he's at 25 points (eight on the power play), 44 shots on net and a minus-10 rating across 35 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 50-point mark for the first time since 2021-22 with the Avalanche.

Burakovsky scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-4 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has two goals and three assists over his last six games. The winger remains in a top-line role at even strength, but that has less appeal with Connor Bedard (upper body) and Frank Nazar (upper body) both out of the lineup until at least January. Burakovsky is now at nine goals, 23 points (six on the power play), 40 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 30 appearances this season.

Burakovsky scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky set up Wyatt Kaiser's goal in the first period before scoring one of his own in the third. The goal was Burakovsky's first since Nov. 9 versus the Red Wings, a span of 10 games without a goal in which he racked up five assists. The 30-year-old winger is at eight tallies, 13 helpers, 34 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 26 appearances. He's been in a top-line role lately, but Connor Bedard (shoulder) will be out for at least Saturday's game versus Detroit, which will negatively impact Burakovsky's production as well.

Burakovsky notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky returned from a three-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, and he logged 18:51 of ice time. That suggests he is pretty close to 100 percent. The 30-year-old winger is up to seven goals, nine helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 19 appearances, though he's dealt with a few bumps and bruises throughout the campaign. If he can stay healthy, he'll have plenty of time to take a run at the career-high 61 points he put up in 2021-22 with the Avalanche.

Burakovsky (undisclosed) will return to the lineup against Nashville on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the last three games, Burakovsky will return to a top-line role versus the Predators and should see time on the first power-play unit. Burakovsky has accounted for seven goals, 15 points and 26 shots on net across 18 appearances this season. Chicago will have seven blueliners and 11 forwards in the lineup in Friday's contest.
