Burakovsky (personal) participated in Saturday's practice, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky missed Thursday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, but he should return to the lineup against the Kings on Sunday. He has two goals and four points in seven games this season.

Burakovsky (personal) is not playing versus the Lightning on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky recently welcomed a child into the world and is away from the team. It's unclear if he'll be back for Sunday's home game versus the Kings.

Burakovsky scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-1 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky gave the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead at the 8:55 mark of the third period after finding the back of the net with the man advantage, thanks to a wrister that went past Vitek Vanecek. Burakovsky has opened the season on a strong note with three points over four appearances, and he should continue to be one of Chicago's most reliable offensive weapons.

Burakovsky scored a goal and added an assist in in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger helped set up Connor Bedard for Chicago's first goal of the night midway through the first period before potting his own early in the third to tie the game at 3-3. Seeing consistent shifts with Bedard can only help Burakovsky's fantasy value, but he skated on the second power-play unit Thursday and is coming off a quiet 2024-25 campaign with the Kraken in which he managed just 10 goals and 37 points in 79 regular-season contests, making him a risky option even in deeper formats.

Burakovsky (lower body) participated in Monday's practice session, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was absent from Sunday's practice due to a lower-body injury, but it's encouraging that he was cleared to return a day later. He was skating on the top line with Connor Bedard and Ryan Donato early in camp, and it seems unlikely that Burakovsky's lower-body injury will impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky had been skating on the top line with Connor Bedard and Ryan Donato in the early stages of training camp. The 30-year-old Burakovsky earned 10 goals and 37 points in 79 regular-season games with Seattle last campaign. After being acquired by the Blackhawks in the offseason, he could have some bounce-back appeal in 2025-26.

Chicago acquired Burakovsky from the Kraken on Saturday in exchange for Joe Veleno, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has two years remaining on his contract, which carries a $5.5 million cap hit. After battling injuries and missing 66 combined games in 2022-23 and 2023-24, the 30-year-old enjoyed a relatively healthy season in 2024-25, playing 79 games while producing 10 goals and 27 assists. He'll hope to bring similar health to a Chicago team that could use some veteran help on the wing. He'll likely be in the mix for a middle-six role in the 2025-26 campaign.

Burakovsky logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky closed out the campaign with 13 points, including four on the power play, over the last 14 games. That's as good as Burakovsky has looked at any time in the last two years. The 30-year-old winger stayed healthy for the most part in 2024-25, earning 10 goals, 37 points (eight on the power play), 115 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-3 rating over 79 appearances. He's under contract for two more years at a $5.5 million cap hit -- unless the Kraken buy him out, he'll likely be occupying a middle-six role again in 2025-26, as few teams will be interested in trading for him at that price.

Burakovsky notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky set up Jared McCann's tally early in the third period, which spared the Kraken from getting shut out. It continues a strong stretch for Burakovsky, who has four goals and eight assists over his last 11 contests. The winger is up to 36 points (seven on the power play), 113 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 76 appearances this season.

Burakovsky scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has four multi-point efforts over his last nine games, a span in which he's racked up four goals and seven assists. The winger picked up both of his points in the first period Saturday, with his goal standing as the game-winner. For the season, the 30-year-old has 10 tallies, 35 points, 110 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 74 appearances.
