What It Means:

Burakovsky hit the boards awkwardly during Sunday's game against the Ottawa Senators and was a little banged up afterwards. He was able to fully participate in Tuesday's practice, but did say that he felt a little sore.

The 20 year-old has 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists) in 39 games played this season. His possession numbers are down from last season, as his Corsi For Percentage is 49.9 after being 55.1 percent last season, and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is -2.2, down from 5.2. We project him to tally another 15 points (6 goals, 9 assists) over the remaining course of the season.
