Andre Burakovsky will play Sunday in Anaheim when the Avalanche close out their four-game road trip.

Burakovsky, who had a goal in each of the season’s first two games, missed the first three games of the trip with an upper-body injury.

Here are the GAME NOTES.

Coach Jared Bednar has juggled the second, third and fourth lines, as you’ll see below. Burakovsky will be at right wing on the second line as he was in the second game, but J.T. Compher will center it with Brandon Saad at left wing.

Nazem Kadri has moved down to the third line with Matt Calvert and Valeri Nichushkin.

Philipp Grubauer will make his fifth start in goal.

Projected lineup:

FORWARDS:
Gabriel Landeskog -- Nathan MacKinnon -- Mikko Rantanen
Brandon Saad -- J.T. Compher -- Andre Burakovsky
Matt Calvert -- Nazem Kadri -- Valeri Nichushkin
Tyson Jost -- Pierre-Edouard Bellemare -- Joonas Donskoi

DEFENSE:
Devon Toews -- Cale Makar
Bowen Byram -- Samuel Girard
Conor Timmins -- Greg Pateryn

GOALIES:
Philipp Grubauer
Hunter Miska
