The NHL gave permission to its players to return to their home country on Monday. Previously, it was requested to stay in their NHL city for hopes of the season picking back up soon.
Andre Burakovsky, Marcus Johansson, and a bunch of other Swedish hockey players all had the same idea and booked a private jet back to their home country.

Our young son Andre Burakovsky has done something with the Colorado Avalanche that we always hoped he’d be able to do in the district.
The Swedish forward hit the 20-goal plateau for the first time in the Avalanche’s 3-1 win over the New York Islanders.
Former Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer started his first career outdoor game as the Colorado Avalanche took on the Los Angeles Kings at Falcon Stadium.
“It’s been marked on the calendar since we got the schedule. Super exciting coming out here,” Grubauer said. “I think it’s an incredible experience and I think we’re really lucky.”
During the Avalanche’s practice outdoors, Grubauer rocked a GoPro and the footage is incredible.
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.
The Washington Capitals will be in Denver later today ahead of their nationally televised game Thursday with the Colorado Avalanche.
The matchup pits two of the NHL’s best teams against each other. The Capitals have led the league in standings points for most of the year (now they sit third with 77) while the Avalanche (72) are second-best in the Western Conference. But even more important, the game also reunites two longtime roommates and Stanley Cup champions in Tom Wilson and Andre Burakovsky.
Reporters caught up with Wilson this morning and the Capitals forward was adamant a hangout was going to happen. “I haven’t texted him yet but he better clear his schedule,” Wilson said according to The Athletic’s Tarik El-Bashir.
With a blistering four-point night against the Buffalo Sabres, Colorado Avalanche forward Andre Burakovsky has hit a new single-season high in points.
You remember Burakovsky, right? You didn’t, uh, forget about Dre?
