Andre Burakovsky isn’t getting caught up in the personal success of a five-game Avalanche points streak.
“There’s been some lucky ones for me,” Burakovsky said.
The eighth-year NHL forward — by chance or by skill — has been a consistent bright spot through Colorado’s ongoing injury carousel with three goals and three assists over the stretch. His most recent production has come on a familiar second line with Valeri Nichushkin and Nazem Kadri.
“We’ve been creating, we’ve been hard on the forecheck and we have good details,” Burakovsky said. “We’ll keep building from here.”
The Avalanche (6-5-1) embarks on a two-game road trip at the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday and the Seattle Kraken on Friday.
