The way last season went for André Burakovsky, the Seattle Kraken forward didn’t have the chance at a relaxed summer.
SEATTLE — André Burakovsky wanted a normal summer break filled with some enjoyable downtime sandwiched around getting ready for the upcoming NHL campaign.
Seeing Burakovsky back on the ice at full speed was a welcomed sight for Seattle at the start of camp. Burakovksy was the big free agent signing for the Kraken between Year 1 and 2 and was the team’s leading scorer when he was injured on his first shift following the All-Star break in February. Burakovksy had 39 points in 49 games in Seattle and was on pace for a career-best season when the injury happened. And Seattle’s offense experienced some swoons without Burakovsky as part of its top six forwards.
Burakovsky signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with Seattle before the start of last season and played on one of the top two lines for the Kraken until his injury. Having him healthy will be a boost for a team facing real expectations after the success of last season.
