Burakovsky’s goal came on the power play. It was pretty simple. He skated into the offensive zone and just overwhelmed goaltender Kevin Poulin with a devastating wrist shot in the middle of the ice.

Burakovsky also assisted on Stan Galiev’s first period power play goal. What a cross-crease pass.
The Burracuda has 6 points in his last 5 AHL games.
On Saturday, just to show he can be tough too, Burakovsky stared down Biznasty.
I love it.
