The Chicago Blackhawks got some good news health-wise, as Andre Burakovsky was back at practice.
Even though the Chicago Blackhawks don't have captain Nick Foligno because of a hand injury, they got a valuable player back on the ice today.
Andre Burakovsky, who was hurt in a game against his former team, the Seattle Kraken, appears ready to go.
Per Blackhawks analyst Vinnie Parise, Burakovsky was back at practice and was on the top line alongside 2023 1st overall pick Connor Bedard and Ryan Greene.
During line rushes, Burakovsky was put right back on the top line with Connor Bedard and Ryan Greene. Two young players with different roles can learn a lot from having a winner like Burakovsky with them on and off the ice. They show no signs of easing him back in after a few games off.
Chicago's lines appeared as followed:
Greene-Bedard-Burakovsky
Moore-Nazar-Bertuzzi
Teravainen-Dickinson-Mikheyev
Dach-Donato-Lafferty
Slaggert
Vlasic-Crevier
Kaiser-Levshunov
Grzelcyk-Murphy
Rinzel
The Chicago Blackhawks Acquired Andre Burakovsky This Summer
Burakovsky is playing in his first year in a Blackhawks sweater since he was acquired from the Seattle Kraken during the summer.
The Blackhawks sent Joe Velneno, who they previously got in a trade from the former divisional foe Detroit Red Wings for Peter Mrazek, back to Seattle in return.
But they bought out the last year of his deal, and he later joined the Montreal Canadiens.
Burakovsky has twice won the Stanley Cup in his career, first with the Washington Capitals in 2018 and then the Colorado Avalanche in 2022.
So far this year, he has 15 points (7G, 8A) in nine games.
