Andre Burakovsky

The way last season went for André Burakovsky, the Seattle Kraken forward didn’t have the chance at a relaxed summer. There was too much rehab work needed after suffering a torn groin muscle to be ready in time for this year.

The Seattle Kraken have placed leading scorer Andre Burakovsky on injured reserve with a lower body injury.

Matt Beniers, Justin Schultz and Jordan Eberle each had a goal and an assist for Seattle, which rallied to beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 for the Kraken’s sixth consecutive win.

Andre Burakovsky scored on a power play at 2:08 of the extra session to give Seattle the first six-game winning streak in franchise history.

Jordan Eberle scored two of Seattle’s four goals in the first period including the first shot of the game, and the Kraken beat the Nashville Predators 5-1 for their fifth straight win.

Jason Dickinson and Tyler Johnson scored 13 seconds apart late in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Seattle Kraken 5-4 for their third straight win.
