Rotowire

The veteran winger helped set up Connor Bedard for Chicago's first goal of the night midway through the first period before potting his own early in the third to tie the game at 3-3.

Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Headed to Windy City
Rotowire
Chicago acquired Burakovsky from the Kraken on Saturday in exchange for Joe Veleno, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Burakovsky has two years remaining on his contract, which carries a $5.5 million cap hit. After battling injuries and missing 66 combined games in 2022-23 and 2023-24, the 30-year-old enjoyed a relatively healthy season in 2024-25, playing 79 games while producing 10 goals and 27 assists. He'll hope to bring similar health to a Chicago team that could use some veteran help on the wing. He'll likely be in the mix for a middle-six role in the 2025-26 campaign.

Rotowire

Burakovsky closed out the campaign with 13 points, including four on the power play, over the last 14 games. That's as good as Burakovsky has looked at any time in the last two years.

He's under contract for two more years at a $5.5 million cap hit -- unless the Kraken buy him out, he'll likely be occupying a middle-six role again in 2025-26, as few teams will be interested in trading for him at that price.
