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.
