Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Registers helper in win
Rotowire
Burakovsky managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Burakovsky has done okay in January, producing a goal and three helpers over nine contests. He remains in a middle-six role for the Kraken, and he has 17 points over 44 outings, surpassing his 2023-24 output of 16 points in 49 games. The winger has added 67 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-8 rating this season, and a reduced power-play role compared to last year gives him a lower ceiling on offense.

Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Lights lamp Saturday
Rotowire
Burakovsky scored a goal on five shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.
Burakovsky tied the game at 2-2 with 48 seconds left in the second period. The winger has four points over six outings since he missed a game due to an illness. Burakovsky continues to see middle-six minutes, and while it looks like he's turning things around, Kraken forwards often tend to be a bit streaky. The 29-year-old has four goals, 16 points, 62 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 40 appearances this season, matching his point total from a 49-game effort in an injury-riddled 2023-24.

Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Pair of helpers in shootout loss
Rotowire
Burakovsky notched two assists, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.
Burakovsky has three points over his last two games. The 29-year-old winger had gone five contests without a point prior to that, and he hadn't produced a multi-point effort since Oct. 17 before Thursday's performance. He has three goals, 12 helpers, 52 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 36 appearances. Burakovsky has just about only offense to offer and not nearly enough of it, so many fantasy managers can look elsewhere for a depth forward.

Rotowire
Burakovsky scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over Utah.

The winger is up to three goals, 13 points, 50 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 35 appearances, so there are likely more productive forwards available on the waiver wire in many fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Burakovsky (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Canucks, per Emerald City Hockey.

Rotowire
Burakovsky notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Burakovsky set up a Tye Kartye tally in the second period, which sparked the Kraken's comeback. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Burakovsky, his longest slump of the season so far. The 29-year-old winger is up to seven assists, 21 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 16 contests. His struggles on offense have seen him land in a middle-six role, and while Burakovsky's still seeing power-play time, he'll need to starting putting the puck away to earn much fantasy interest.

Rotowire
Burkaovsky provided a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Through seven contests, Burakovsky has done well as a playmaker, earning five assists, including three on the power play.

Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Burakovsky notched two assists and four shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.
Burakovsky has produced two assists on two occasions this season, but he doesn't have points in any of his other three outings. The 29-year-old winger has added nine shots on net and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. Burakovsky is playing alongside Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen at even strength, and that trio has gotten off to an uneven start compared to some of their teammates. After an injury-riddled 2023-24, Burakovsky will need to prove himself both with health and with offense before he can be trusted as a depth forward in fantasy.
