Andre Burakovsky Goes Down On First Shift
2 years agoSeattle Kraken winger Andre Burakovsky saw his night end extremely early Tuesday versus the Islanders, as he suffered a lower-body injury during his first shift of the game. Burakovsky ended up spending only 21 seconds on the time. Ryan Donato replaced him on the first line and eventually led all forwards in the game with 20:27 of ice time. Unfortunately, Donato couldn't make a big impact and the team as a whole had an off night in a 4-0 defeat. The severity of Burakovsky's injury is currently unclear, but we should see Donato in the top six again if he can't play Thursday against New Jersey. Daniel Sprong, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday, will likely return to the lineup as well.
