Forward Andre Burakovsky of the Washington Capitals had a roller coaster ride of a rookie season for the Capitals. He has his ups (scoring a goal on his first NHL shift, scoring two goals in one game in the playoffs) and his downs (allowing two goals in one period to John Tavares and being sent down to Hershey numerous times). In 2015-16, Burakovsky should see a much more consistent role with the Washington Capitals.
