Capitals first-round pick Andre Burakovsky was dominant late in the OHL regular season, and he has kept that trend going in the playoffs. In two games against the Saginaw Spirit, Burakovsky scored three goals, turning the Otters’ second line into a lethal weapon. (You know you have deep forward corps when your team can put both him and Brendan Gaunce on the second line.)
The Erie Otters won both games with a final score of 4-3, the second game decided in overtime. The third game will be held on Monday at 7:11 PM ET.
Burakovsky is currently tied for first in goals in these still-young OHL playoffs.

Burakovsky’s goal on an excellent shot.
Great scoring chance, but he was denied twice by Jake Paterson.
Burakovsky’s wrister off the curl-and-drag goes just high.
