4 years agoColorado Avalanche winger Andre Burakovsky (upper body) will miss a third consecutive game on Friday, despite joining the team on Thursday for an optional morning skate. His status remains day-to-day and his next chance to return comes on Sunday. Goaltender Pavel Francouz (lower body) and defenseman Erik Johnson (conditioning) are also currently on the shelf for Colorado, who have gone 2-2-0 ahead of Friday's matchup with Anaheim. Burakovsky had a nice start to the year with three points in two games, and he'll look to replicate his last season's form when he's finally healthy. The 25-year-old finished his debut year in Colorado with 20 goals and 45 points in 58 games, adding 17 points in 15 playoff outings.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
