Playing career

Burakovsky is the son of Pernilla and former Ottawa Senator Robert Burakovsky.[1][2] He was born in Austria while Robert played hockey there.[3]

Burakovsky was selected in the third round (102nd overall) by SKA Saint Petersburg in the 2012 KHL Junior Draft, and was selected by the Capitals in the first round (23rd overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[4]

Burakovsky made his professional debut during the 2011–12 season with the Malmö Redhawks of HockeyAllsvenskan when he was just 16 years old.[1] He won a silver medal playing with Team Sweden at the 2012 IIHF World U18 Championships.[5]
