Burakovsky registered two assists in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky helped out on the second of Nicolas Aube-Kubel's goals as well as Nazem Kadri's go-ahead tally. The 26-year-old Burakovsky hasn't scored a goal in his last five games, but he's racked up five assists in that span. He saw a first-line assignment with Gabriel Landeskog (COVID-19 protocols) out Monday, though Burakovsky's 16:17 of ice time saw him play less than J.T. Compher and Valeri Nichushkin. Through 30 contests, Burakovsky's been a strong contributor with 12 goals, 14 assists, 56 shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

Burakovsky produced an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky entered Tuesday with no assists in his last nine games, though he had six goals in that span. The 26-year-old winger earned the secondary helper on Mikko Rantanen's first-period marker Tuesday. Burakovsky is up to 12 tallies, nine assists, 50 shots on net and 12 PIM in 25 contests this season. He should continue to see top-line usage while Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) is out.

Burakovsky scored a hat trick and added three hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky scored on the power play in the second period and added another pair of even-strength goals in the third to pace the Avalanche in the win. The 26-year-old's first game on the top line in place of Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) was a big success. Burakovsky is up to 12 goals, 20 points, 49 shots on net and a minus-2 rating in 24 contests.

Burakovsky scored twice on six shots in Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky had just one goal in his previous seven games before his slump-busting effort Friday. The 26-year-old is up to nine tallies, 17 points, 45 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 23 contests. With Nazem Kadri (lower body) and Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) banged up, Burakovsky's spot in the top six should be safe.

Burakovsky skated on the third line in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. He had three shots, one hit and one blocked shot over 16:38 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky normally lines up on the second line but was dropped in favor of Logan O'Connor, who moved to the top line while Mikko Rantanen took Burakovsky's spot on the second line. The silver lining is that he remained on the top power-play unit. Burakovsky was eventually given TOI as a top-six forward in the third period after Nazem Kadri left the game with a lower-body injury. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar has demoted the Austrian forward before, usually when he's struggling on offense, which could be the case with this decision. Burakovsky has one goal and zero assists over the last seven contests, during which the Avalanche have scored 33 goals. If Kadri's injury lingers, Burakovsky could rejoin the second line Friday night at home against Detroit.

Burakovsky scored a goal on three shots and one hit in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Burakovsky brushed off the ignominy of a minus-3 in the previous night's 8-3 loss to Toronto and scored his seventh goal of the season. An Avalanche rush led by Nazem Kadri eventually led to a couple of Jake Allen saves before Burakovsky cleaned up the loose change with a backhander to give Colorado a 3-1 lead. It was the Austrian's first tally in six games. The Avs' second line has been cooking and accounted for two of their four goals Thursday.
