Brent Burns - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Links up with Colorado Burns signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Impact Burns will join a contending team for his age-40 season. With Cale Makar firmly entrenched on the top power-play unit, Burns will likely see time on the second unit and may see reduced ice time in all situations. Burns was limited to 29 points in 82 regular-season contests last year and has declined significantly in each of the last two seasons, but he's still averaged over 20 minutes of ice time per game, so he's far from running on empty even this late in his career. He has played in 925 consecutive games and would become the second player in league history to play in 1,000 games without an absence if he stays healthy for the vast majority of 2025-26.

Pair of points Sunday Burns managed a goal on two shots, an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating Sunday in a 5-2 win over the Devils in Game 4.

Impact Burns got on the scoresheet for the first time this postseason and was able to do so with a two-point performance, which snapped his five-game dry spell in the process. The veteran defenseman set up the first of Andrei Svechnikov's three goals early in the first period before giving Carolina a 4-2 lead at 14:14 of the third. Burns has accounted for five shots on goal, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while averaging 22:31 of ice time over four playoff outings. Burns and his squad will return home with a chance to eliminate the Devils in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Collects two assists Thursday Burns recorded two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Impact This was Burns' first multi-point effort since Jan. 15 versus the Sabres. He helped out on third-period goals by Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis as the Hurricanes dug out of a 4-2 hole to force overtime. Burns is up to 28 points, 172 shots on net, 97 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 78 appearances this season, so he's still at risk of falling short of the 30-point mark for the second time in five years.

Nets goal in loss Burns scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Burns' tally brought the Hurricanes within a goal in the third period, but they couldn't find an equalizer. He ended a four-game point drought and earned his first goal since March 6 versus the Bruins. The 40-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 26 points, 170 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 75 appearances. Burns is set for unrestricted free agency this summer, but it's unclear if the NHL's active iron man will opt to continue his career. If he does, he will have a chance to become the second player in league history to play in 1,000 consecutive contests.
