Colorado's top-six forward group may be getting a boost on Sunday night

Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar told reporters on Saturday morning that forward Andre Burakovsky will travel with the team to Tampa Bay and there's a chance he could suit up for Game 6 on Sunday night.

The Klagenfurt native left during Game 2 with an upper-body injury after only playing 7:51 TOI, where he scored and added an assist.

Burakovsky has had the best season of his career thus far, recording 61 points (22 goals, 39 assists) along with eighteen penalty minutes and was a plus-twelve in 80 games. He's added eight points (three goals, five assists) in twelve playoff games, scoring a goal in Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The 27-year-old is looking to win his second Stanley Cup after winning it with the Washington Capitals back in 2018. He'll have the chance to do so on Sunday night in Tampa Bay for Game 6.
