Burakovsky (upper body) was skating before practice Friday in a non-contact jersey, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was injured Oct. 21 against the Rangers and has missed the last 15 games. Burakovsky has two assists in six games with both coming Oct. 19 versus the Hurricanes. This is a good first step in his return to action, which is expected at some point in December.

Burakovsky (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky is already expected to be out until December anyway, so this doesn't change his timeline. The Kraken will be able to call-up a forward to take Burakovsky's roster spot after this move.

Burakovsky (upper body) will miss 6-8 weeks after suffering an injury Saturday versus the Rangers, Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was boarded by Jacob Trouba in the second period of Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old winger clearly got the worst of the hit, and he may eventually be a candidate for long-term injured reserve to free up some cap space for the Kraken. Look for Devin Shore to draw into the lineup Tuesday against the Red Wings.

Burakovsky sustained an undisclosed injury in the second period of Saturday's game versus the Rangers, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was injured when he was boarded by Jacob Trouba. Through six games this season, Burakovsky has been limited to two assists and 14 shots on goal. If he can't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Devin Shore will likely enter the lineup.

Burakovsky notched two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky set up tallies by Yanni Gourde and Vince Dunn. Burakovsky had gone without a point in the first four games of the season amid team-wide scoring struggles. A move to the third line appears to have sparked his offense. In addition to the two helpers, he's produced 12 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through five outings.

Burakovsky (groin) is listed to practice Thursday as the Kraken open training camp, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky suffered a tear in his groin that sidelined him from Feb. 9 onward. Prior to the injury, the 28-year-old winger was one of the Kraken's best forwards with 13 goals and 26 assists in 49 contests, including 14 power-play points to match his career high. He should have a spot in the Kraken's top six to begin this season, so he may have some appeal as a late-round option in fantasy.

Burakovsky's lower-body injury is a tear in his groin, Kraken GM Ron Francis told Alison Lukan of Root Sports on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky didn't play past Feb. 7 because of the injury, but Francis expects him to completely recover in time for the start of next season. The 28-year-old forward had 13 goals and 39 points in 49 outings in 2022-23. Burakovsky still has four seasons left on his five-year, $27.5 million contract.

Burakovsky (lower body) recently underwent a procedure to address a recurring lower-body injury and will miss the start of the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky's already been out for 32 games, but the Kraken will miss his veteran presence as they embark on their first postseason. The team didn't provide a clear timeline for when he might return to the ice.

Burakovsky (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky suffered the injury on his opening shift Tuesday and did not return. The 28-year-old was having a very good season prior to the injury with 13 goals and 39 points in 49 games, including four goals and 14 points on the power play.

Burakovsky (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was injured on his first shift of the game, but it took until the second intermission for him to be ruled out. The 27-year-old's status should be updated prior to Thursday's game in New Jersey. If he can't play, Daniel Sprong will likely rejoin the lineup.
