Burakovsky (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Canucks, per Emerald City Hockey.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky did not make the trip to Vancouver. Brandon Tanev (undisclosed) is the only spare forward on the roster, so it's possible he has moved past the injury that kept him out of last Sunday's game versus the Avalanche. Burakovsky could be available to return Monday versus Utah.

Burakovsky posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has three points over four appearances since he returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old has regained a top-six role on paper, though he has often seen middle-six minutes -- he had 15:03 of ice time Thursday. Burakovsky is up to two goals, 10 helpers, 40 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 29 appearances, so his fantasy value is mostly limited to deep formats.

Burakovsky scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky didn't step on the ice in Seattle's previous two games, but he found twine in his return to a top-six role. The 29-year-old has scored just two goals, 10 points and 34 shots in 26 appearances this season. He did record an impressive 74 goals and 189 points across 240 regular-season outings from 2019-20 through 2022-23, which amounts to an average of roughly 65 points per 82 games, but he had just 16 points in 49 outings in 2023-24 and doesn't seem to be rekindling his old offensive prowess this campaign.

Burakovsky scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Burakovsky's first of the season. It's better late than never -- even with his scoring troubles, he's maintained a prominent role in the Kraken's balanced offense. The winger has three points over his last seven outings and a total of nine points (three on the power play), 30 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 22 appearances this season.

Burakovsky notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky set up a Tye Kartye tally in the second period, which sparked the Kraken's comeback. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Burakovsky, his longest slump of the season so far. The 29-year-old winger is up to seven assists, 21 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 16 contests. His struggles on offense have seen him land in a middle-six role, and while he's still seeing power-play time, he'll need to starting putting the puck away to earn much fantasy interest.

Burakovsky had an assist and one hit in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky had a hand in the Kraken's first goal, then was quiet the rest of the night. The helper was the sixth over 10 outings for Burakovsky, who is still searching for his first goal.

Burkaovsky provided a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky had the secondary helper on Ryker Evans' tally in the dying seconds of the game. Through seven contests, Burakovsky has done well as a playmaker, earning five assists, including three on the power play. The winger has come up empty on 10 shots on goal and has a minus-1 rating, but he could be a depth option in fantasy if he continues to be semi-consistent on offense.

Burakovsky notched two assists and four shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has produced two assists on two occasions this season, but he doesn't have points in any of his other three games. The 29-year-old winger has added nine shots on net and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. Burakovsky is playing alongside Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen at even strength, and that trio has gotten off to an uneven start compared to some of their teammates. After an injury-riddled 2023-24, Burakovsky will need to prove himself both with health and with offense before he can be trusted as a depth forward in fantasy.

Burakovsky notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky came through with helpers in two clutch situations Saturday, as he contributed directly to Jordan Eberle's power-play goal in the second period and in Jared McCann's third-period equalizer. These were the first points for Burakovsky this season, and he's looking to put behind a 2023-24 season in which he was limited to just 16 points across 49 regular-season contests.

Burakovsky scored a power-play goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky's had a year to forget, but his tally Tuesday was his career-high fifth power-play goal in a season. The 29-year-old is up to seven tallies, 16 points (nine on the power play), 79 shots on net and a minus-12 rating through 44 appearances. Burakovsky will likely continue to see top-six minutes to close out the campaign. He's definitely worth a look as a streaming target Thursday versus the Sharks.
