On Saturday, Andre Burakovsky skated with the Seattle Kraken for the first time in nearly two months. The Swedish forward, who signed a three-year deal with the Kraken in October, had been sidelined since mid-February due to an upper-body injury.
Burakovsky, who was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in the offseason, has been a valuable addition to the Kraken’s lineup. He has scored seven goals and added nine assists in 24 games this season. His return to the ice is a welcome sight for the Kraken, who have been struggling to find consistent scoring since his injury.
The 26-year-old forward is expected to make his return to the lineup soon. He is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Kraken’s offense, which has been inconsistent in recent weeks. Burakovsky is a skilled player who can create chances for his teammates and finish plays himself. He is also a reliable two-way player who can help out on the defensive end as well.
Burakovsky’s return should help the Kraken as they make a push for the playoffs. With just over a month left in the regular season, every point matters and Burakovsky’s presence could be the difference between making and missing the playoffs.
The Kraken are hopeful that Burakovsky will be able to stay healthy and contribute for the remainder of the season. If he can stay healthy and produce, it could be a huge boost for the team as they look to make a run at the Stanley Cup.
