Avalanche forward Andre Burakovsky considered day-to-day
Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said Monday that forward Andre Burakovsky is considered day-to-day, casting doubt over whether he will be in the lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
At the time of media availability following Monday's morning skate, Burakovsky had not joined the team in Tampa Bay, where the Lightning will host the next two games at Amalie Arena.
Burakovsky exited Game 2 over the weekend with what was first classified as an undisclosed injury. As SportsNet points out, replays later showed the Austrian-born forward appeared to block a neutral-zone shot with his hand during his final shift of the game.
He has three goals through 12 games these playoffs, including the overtime game-winner in Game 1 and another goal in Colorado's 7-0 rout of Tampa Bay in Game 2.
Puck drop for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is set for 8 p.m. ET. on Monday.
