"When you play with him, the challenge for the other guys is to find the open ice because when you do, the puck is going to come," Burakovsky said. "That first play he made tonight, I came from behind and I think he had a pretty good look to shoot too, and he just whipped it over to me and I had a good look from it. You just have to find the ice and be ready for the puck."
Burakovsky extended the lead to 2-0 at 18:25 when he shot short side over Rittich's shoulder after an offensive zone face-off win by MacKinnon. Burakovsky, who has five goals in the past three games and 10 goals in 21 games, has finished with 12 goals in each of the past three seasons.
"Sometimes that just happens," he said. "Every shot you have goes in somehow. I've been playing with great players and they're giving me a lot of looks. I think I'm putting more pucks to the net than usual than I used to do. It's working out that way. The more I shoot, the more opportunities I have to score."
Burakovsky's second goal came after Grubauer, who returned after missing five games because of a lower-body injury, made a glove save against Matthew Tkachuk at 15:34 and a right pad save on Ryan's breakaway on the power play at 17:02.
Kamenev made it 3-0 at 13:15 of the second period when he finished a three-way passing play with J.T. Compher and Valeri Nichushkin.
