Less than two months ago Andre Burakovsky was crowned as the best Capitals player under the age of 25 and it's fair to say he hasn't been meeting expectations. Burakovsky started the season as the second line center and looked uncomfortable there, significantly more uncomfortable than he looked in that position a year ago. After Backstrom's return Burakovsky moved back to his natural position on the wing and has been playing a bit better but something has been missing. Following a mediocre multi-game stint in the bottom six, Burakovsky was gifted a spot on the second line with Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson for Saturday night's game against the Maple Leafs.
