Here’s something to think about: as soon as Andre Burakovsky got out of Washington, he became the scoring phenom he had always flirted with becoming.

By scoring a pretty goal in the first period, Burakovsky recorded his 18th goal of the season — a new career-high.

I’m not sure who deserves the assist more: Nathan MacKinnon or John Carlson.

MacKinnon did some excellent puck-carrying on the rush, but Carlson broke his stick after getting caught puck-watching.

After taking a perfect pass from MacKinnon, Burakovsky beat Braden Holtby with a beautiful one-timer. The goal marked Andre’s first goal against his former team.

Burkie later added an assist on Mikko Rantanen’s power-play goal.

Burakovsky now has 43 points in 53 games which is also a new career-high.

Sigh. We still love ya, Dre.
