Andre Burakovsky may have struggled drinking out of a Gatorade bottle tonight, but his hands were lethal while wielding his hockey stick.
Burakovsky scored twice on pure snipes, including a beautiful snap shot that won the game in overtime.

The goal was pure skill. Burakovsky placed a perfect shot to the far corner of the net, somehow elevating the puck over Esa Lindell’s outstretced stick.
The goal would end up being Young Dre’s first career overtime tally. The two-goal game also marked the fourth career multi-goal game of Burra’s career.
