Avalanche acquire Andre Burakovsky in trade with Capitals
Watch as Andre Burakovsky lays a big hit on the boards, steals the puck off Brett Pesce and walks in front of Petr Mrazek to put the Capitals ahead 1-0 in Game 7 against the Hurricanes.
In exchange, the Capitals pick up minor-league forward Scott Kosmachuk, a second-round pick in the 2020 draft and a third-round selection the Avalanche previously picked up from Arizona.
