The Ottawa Senators are working on finding a trade to give forward Andre Burakovsky a fresh start, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
Burakovsky's gone without a point in eight appearances with the Senators this season while dealing with injuries and healthy scratches. Ottawa acquired the winger from the Chicago Blackhawks for a sixth-round pick in June.
He's in the final campaign of a five-year contract carrying a $5.5-million cap hit, and registered 33 points in 75 games last season.
Burakovsky is a two-time 20-goal scorer in his 13 NHL seasons. He won the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018 and the Colorado Avalanche in 2022.
The Senators entered Saturday's clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins 12-6-2 so far this season.
