Rotowire
Burakovsky scored a goal, dished an assist, put four shots on net and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Blackhawks' Andre Burakovsky: One of each Friday
Rotowire
Burakovsky scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-0 win over the Flames.
Burakovsky's pair of points came in the third period to give the Blackhawks some breathing room. Connor Bedard's ascent to near-superstar status this season has seen Burakovsky come along for the ride on the top line. Through 14 games, the 30-year-old winger has six goals, six helpers, 21 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. That kind of production should find a home on most fantasy rosters, making Burakovsky a player to keep an eye on moving forward to see if this first month of the campaign is sustained.

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.
