Burakovsky notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky is starting to show some life on offense with an assist in three of the last four games. The winger set up a Vince Dunn tally in the third period. A lineup shuffle saw Burakovsky swap places with Oliver Bjorkstrand, and while that's technically a demotion for Burakovsky, it matters less in the Kraken's balanced offense. The 29-year-old is up to nine points, 41 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 27 appearances.

Burakovsky notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky helped out on a Vince Dunn tally in the first period. This was Burakovsky's second straight game with an assist, which follows his recent seven-game drought. The winger is up to eight points, 34 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 25 appearances this season. Burakovsky has been on the second line recently, and it appears he's finally finding his way on offense again.

Burakovsky notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky ended a seven-game point drought when he assisted on Jared McCann's first-period marker. The 29-year-old Burakovsky has now gone 14 games without a goal, logging just three assists in that span. He's been in a second-line role for a majority of that time, but the Kraken's offense hasn't been all that consistent. Burakovsky has just seven points and 34 shots on net through 24 appearances this season, making him a major disappointment for fantasy managers that thought he could bounce back after an injury-shortened 2022-23 campaign.

Burakovsky notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Burakovsky's first point in three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He was on the fourth line immediately after his return, but he's since returned to a middle-six role. The 28-year-old winger has had an injury-plagued campaign, limiting him to six points and 21 shots on net over 16 contests. He may struggle to play a significant role if he can't build upon his 13:10 average for ice time per game.

EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky (lower body) returned to the lineup against the Oilers on Thursday night. He managed one hit and a minus-1 rating in 14:16 TOI. In 14 games this season, he has four helpers and only one goal. Much of his struggles are a result of his lack of playing time due to injury.
