Burakovsky (illness) is doubtful to play Wednesday.

Burakovsky is expected to miss his second straight game with an illness. Burakovsky was on the ice in a non-contact jersey on Tuesday but is not expected to play vs. the Sabres. With Burakovsky out, Valeri Nichushkin is expected to skate on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon.

The Avalanche acquired Andre Burakovsky from the Capitals for Scott Kosmachuk, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2020-third-round pick.

Burakovsky was picked No.23 overall back in 2013 but has yet to top 40 points in five NHL seasons. In his defence, Burakovsky has never played more than 13:50 TOI/gm, so the Avalanche will see what he can do for them in a larger role. The 24-year-old has tremendous speed, a great shot but had just 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 76 games a season ago.

Burakovsky will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.

Burakovsky has struggled since returning from a thumb injury and has picked up just eight points (3G / 5A) in 19 games this season. Burakovsky has game-breaking talent and a great shot but has struggled to find his way early in his NHL career. Tonight he will sit for Chandler Stephenson.
