Exits with lower-body injury Burakovsky (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

Impact Burakovsky was injured in the first period, and he won't be able to finish the game. Injury luck has not been on his side this season -- he missed 29 of 30 games between Oct. 24 and Dec. 27 due to a pair of injuries. The Kraken have a back-to-back Monday and the Tuesday, so it's unclear if he'll be available in either of those games. Kailer Yamamoto would likely enter the lineup in a fourth-line role if Burakovsky misses time.

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

Impact 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's been limited to just 10 games in an injury-plagued campaign, tallying a goal and three assists. The 28-year-old winger has been skating on the fourth line since his return, though he could work back into a top-six role as he shakes off the rust. Burakovsky had 13 goals and 39 points in 49 games last season.

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.

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

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.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be fine for 2023-24 Burakovsky's lower-body injury is a tear in his groin, Kraken GM Ron Francis told Alison Lukan of Root Sports on Thursday.
