This past weekend the Hershey Bears got a treat. 2013 first round draft pick Andre Burakovsky spent two games with the Chocolate and White to get him back on the ice after being scratched the last five out of six games for Washington.

The 19-year-old center has not seen many minutes in the NHL since late November, and Capitals coach Barry Trotz wanted to give the Swede some top six minutes.

Burakovsky returned to the Capitals after the game on Saturday, but could rejoin Hershey at some point during the season. Below, watch the young star talk about his time with Hershey and check out some photos from his game on Saturday night.
