Burakovsky notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky has been eased back in since returning to the lineup Dec. 29. He's played on the fourth line and second power-play unit, picking up two points over four games. Burakovsky's got the talent to play higher in the lineup, but with the Kraken humming along, head coach Dave Hakstol likely won't change what's working. For the season, Burakovsky has five points, 18 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 contests after missing large chunks of time with two separate injuries.

Burakovsky scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky extended Seattle's lead to 3-0 late in the second period, beating Joonas Korpisalo on the rush for his first goal of the season and his first point in three games since returning from injured reserve. Burakovsky's been limited to just 10 games in an injury-plagued campaign, tallying a goal and three assists in that span. The 28-year-old winger has been skating on the fourth line since his return, though he could work his way back into a top-six role as he shakes off the rust. Burakovsky had 13 goals and 39 points in 49 games last season.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky was originally labeled a game-time decision for Friday's contest, but his removal from IR all but guarantees he'll be in the lineup against Philadelphia. In his seven games this season, the winger registered three assists, including one with the man advantage, and 15 shots. Burakovsky is expected to initially move into a fourth-line role but could eventually jump into the top six once he's back up to game speed.

Burakovsky (undisclosed) is slated to be a game-time decision Friday versus Philadelphia, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky, who last played Dec. 7, has three assists in seven contests this season. Injuries have limited him over the past two campaigns, but he did score 22 goals and 61 points in 80 outings with the Avalanche in 2021-22. If Burakovsky returns Friday, then Devin Shore might be a healthy scratch.

Burakovsky (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Scott Malone of Root Sports Northwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was already announced that Burakovsky is dealing with a week-to-week injury so this move won't affect his return timeline. The 28-year-old has already missed 20 games with an upper-body injury and will be sidelined again after returning for just one game.

Burakovsky is week-to-week with an undisclosed injury, coach Dave Hakstol told Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky sustained the injury during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Seattle, which was his first game since Oct. 21 due to an upper-body injury. Hakstol said Burakovsky's current issue is unrelated to the injury he just recovered from. The 28-year-old forward has three assists in seven contests this campaign. When healthy, he's a top-six option for Seattle and typically serves on the second power-play unit.

Burakovsky logged an assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky returned from an upper-body injury for this game, though he left in the second period with seemingly another issue. He was back for the third but finished the contest with just 9:08 of ice time. Another injury is the last thing the 28-year-old needs after missing six weeks this season and the last three months of 2022-23. He's managed three assists, 15 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over seven appearances on the year.

Burakovsky (upper body) is expected to draw into the lineup Thursday versus New Jersey, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky, who was on injured reserve, hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 21 due to the injury. He has just two assists in six contests this campaign, though he did provide 22 goals and 61 points in 80 outings in 2021-22. Burakovsky is projected to serve in a top-six role and the first power-play unit against the Devils.

According to coach Dave Hakstol, Burakovsky (upper body) is "real close" to returning, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burakovsky practiced in full for the first time since suffering his upper-body injury Wednesday. He almost certainly won't play Thursday versus New Jersey, but it looks like he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 28-year-old forward picked up two helpers through the first six games of the campaign before suffering the injury.

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.
