He has put up 62\u00a0goals and 83\u00a0assists for 145\u00a0career points in 328\u00a0career games. Burakovsky has picked up 9 goals and 9 assists for 18 points in 56 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.\u00a0 He was originally drafted, 23rd\u00a0overall of the 2013\u00a0NHL draft by the Caps.<\/p>\n<p>Last season he scored 12 goals and 13 assists for 25 points. He also added 14 minutes in penalties. Andre added a goal and an assist in seven games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season. His possession numbers were 48.5 percent Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of -0.4.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Burakovsky re-signing is a smart move for the Avs moving forward. Over the first five years of his career, he has proven to be a key piece on the Capitals third line. Expect to see Buravosky continue as a middle six forward for Colorado moving forward. He has shown that he can be a guy who will put up around 15 goals a year.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Burakovsky also brings size to the Avs line up but isn&#8217;t known for throwing the body around. Expect Burakovsky to continue to be around the 15-20 goal mark next season with the Avs. This move will pay for itself moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Mwc__qh4Q7Z7IMdVlltWqQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1145051125\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Mwc__qh4Q7Z7IMdVlltWqQ',sig:'NqWTr2xI7F5eTwBLbVz_FL9G8NS1XXssFgdvUhGUKXk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1145051125',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Burakovsky\u00a0re-signs with the Colorado Avalanche.
