Burakovsky was sent down to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He has registered nine goals and 12 assists (21 points) in 48 games with the Capitals this season.
The Capitals acquired Curtis Glencross from the Flames, so it looks like they will move him to the AHL on paper, but he will likely become the Capitals first of four post-deadline recalls.
Burakovsky was a healthy scratch on Sunday, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Pittsburgh. He played a career-high 18:10 TOI in his last game, so he could be in line for big minutes again tonight. His first-line status certainly makes him an intriguing one-day fantasy option.
After losing Patrick Kane for what could be the remainder of the season, the Hawks made their first move to try and replace that hole, by recalling Teravainen. The 20-year-old has two goals and two assists in 15 games with the Blackhawks this season. While in Rockford, he has 25 points (6G / 19A) in 39 games.
Burakovsky was in warmups, but ended up being a heathy scratch with Michael Latta returning to the lineup. Burakovsky had recorded two goals, a plus-4 rating and 10 shots in his previous four games.
Foligno was listed as a gametime decision, but is on the ice for warmups, so it looks like he will play on a line with Artem Anisimov and Marko Dano.
Foligno missed Tuesday’s game but was on the ice for the Blue Jackets game day skate this morning, which is a sign that he could be available tonight. The Blue Jackets said the final decision on Foligno’s status will be made in warmups.
Foligno's injury is not believed to be serious, but he will be held out of tonight's game vs. the Flyers. With Foligno out, Corey Tropp is expected to skate on the Blue Jackets top-line.
Burakovsky was a plus-2 in 9:52 on Wednesday, but will come out of the lineup in favour of Tom Wilson tonight vs. the Kings.
Murphy missed Tuesday’s game in St. Louis, but will be back in tonight vs. the Sharks. Murphy has no points in his last eight games and has just six points (3G / 3A) in 49 games this season.
With Kris Versteeg back in the lineup, Teravainen was a healthy scratch on Wednesday. The 20-year-old had two goals and two assists in 15 games during his recall. He returns to the AHL where he has tallied six goals and 17 assists (23 points) in 33 games.
Burakovsky was sent down yesterday in order for the Capitals to recall Philipp Grubauer, who was given the start last night. Burakovsky should be back in the Capitals lineup on Sunday vs. Philadelphia.
It seems like the Capitals really wanted to start Philipp Grubauer tonight vs. the Ducks. They recalled him this morning and sent Burakovsky down to make room for him. The call-up is not expected to be long-term, so expect Burakovsky back soon.
Burakovsky, who served as a healthy scratch during the Winter Classic and has only played in two of the last eight games, skated on the top-line in practice on Saturday morning. It looks like he will go from the doghouse to the penthouse. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 28 games this season.
Teravainen, 20, has six goals and 17 assists in 33 games with the IceHogs this season. After a slow start as he adapted to the North American style of play (particularly the dump-and-chase style of the AHL), he had three goals and seven assists in his last 10 games.
Burakovsky will play in his first game since December 13th. He went down to Hershey for a brief conditioning stint, but will return to the Capitals lineup tonight.
Burakovsky, 19, did not record a point and was a minus-1 in two games with Hershey over the weekend. He was not playing with the Capitals, so they sent him back to get a few games in. Now that he is back, he could be in the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. He recorded 12 points (3G / 9A) in his first 15 games, but has just one goal in his last 11 games.
Burakovsky has served as a healthy scratch in five of the last six games. He had a hot start to the season and is an ultra talented player who likely won’t be in the minors for long.
Burakovsky has served as a healthy scratch for the last three games, but will be back in tomorrow. Coach Trotz had been platooning he and Evgeny Kuznetsov, so there is a good chance that it will be Kuznetsov who comes out, but if not, he could draw in on the fourth line for Michael Latta.
Murphy has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered on December 1st. He will be paired with Andrew Campbell who was recalled from Portland on Friday. Murphy has four points (2G / 2A) in 25 games this season.
