Is Andre Burakovsky the player that can score a clutch Game 7 goal and dominate possession on the third line? Or is he the player that can look lost defensively and not make an impact offensively for long stretches?
The difficult answer is he’s both of those players.
At 23 years of age, Burakovsky capped his fifth season in the NHL with his third straight 12 goal season. He had 25 points in each of his last two years.
In each year except for the 2018-19 season, he was a positive possession player, with no worse than a 51.
