Washington Capitals forward Andre Burakovsky will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past three games. "It feels good to be back in," he said. "I'm just going to have a good game today and hopefully stay in." Burakovsky hasn't scored since he had two goals Oct. 13 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He said his focus while he was out was working on his shot. "Just getting my shot off a little bit quicker, shoot more, put myself in position where I can score," he said. "I don't think my game was bad, it was just that I couldn't produce, and that's what I've been working on and hopefully it will be back tonight." Coach Barry Trotz will play Burakovsky at right wing, rather than left wing. "I think that's where he's ultimately probably going to end up a little bit, so we'll have him do that for a bit," he said. Burakovsky said he hopes watching for three games has the same result as last season, when he felt he responded well after being scratched. "It helped me last year when I was not playing really well and I sat out for two games and came back and my game just turned around from being bad to being really good," he said. "And hopefully it's going to be the same thing this year."
