BRENT BURNS NEWS

Dishes two assists in loss Burns notched two assists and eight shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Burns has racked up five helpers and a plus-4 rating over his last five contests. The defenseman helped out on third-period tallies by Jaccob Slavin and Martin Necas as the Hurricanes attempted to make a comeback that ultimately fell short. Burns is now at 18 points, 104 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances. He's still seeing big minutes, but the 39-year-old is not a must-have player in fantasy at this stage of his career.

Puts up helper in loss Burns notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Burns has five points over his last seven outings. He had a shot attempt redirected in by Jordan Staal midway through the third period of Tuesday's game, but the Lightning won with a Brayden Point goal in the final minute. Burns is at four goals, 10 helpers, 89 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 41 appearances in a top-four role.

Strikes early in win Burns scored a goal on seven shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Burns has two goals and two assists over four games since the holiday break. The 39-year-old's resurgence on offense can be partially attributed to the absence of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body). Burns is on the top power-play unit, and he's likely to have a short-term boost in scoring while Gostisbehere is hurt. For the season, Burns is at 13 points, 85 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances.

Two points in defeat Burns recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.

Impact Burns picked up an even-strength assist in the first period before ripping one past Jacob Markstrom to tie the score at 2-2 early in the middle frame. Surprisingly, it was just the second multi-point effort of the campaign for Burns and first since Nov. 5. The right-shot blueliner isn't the coveted fantasy asset he once was, but he's just one injury away from quarterbacking the league's sixth-ranked power-play unit. Burns has chipped in three goals and 11 points through 35 appearances.

Provides apple in loss Burns notched an assist in Friday's 3-1 loss to Carolina.

Impact Burns produced the secondary assist on Seth Jarvis' third-period goal to end Charlie Lindgren's shutout bid. The helper snapped a three-game point drought for Burns. The right-shot blueliner's offensive output has decreased at 39 years old, and he's on pace for just 23 points. The 2003 first-round selection's value would increase if he was the quarterback of the No. 1 power-play unit, but Shayne Gostisbehere has filled that role admirably with 18 points on the man advantage in 2024-25.

Tallies in Tuesday's win Burns scored a goal on three shots and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Burns tied the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The 39-year-old has picked up three points and 16 shots on net over his last eight games, which isn't much, but it's better than the nine-game stretch that preceded it, which saw him earn no points and fire 12 shots on goal. The veteran defenseman has two goals, six assists, 56 shots, 40 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 28 appearances, though he continues to average 21:32 of ice time in a top-four role.

Slides helper in win Burns notched an assist and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Burns' offense hasn't been consistent this season -- he ended a four-game slump with this helper. The defenseman is now at seven points, 51 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 26 appearances. While he can help in other areas, it's unlikely the 39-year-old gets back to a 40-point pace over the remainder of the season, so his fantasy value will be low.

Breaks unlucky spell Burns scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-4 win over the Stars.

Impact Prior to Monday, Burns had come up empty on 40 shots, one of three players with that unfortunate reality. He snapped his droughts with a game-tying goal in the third period, his first tally of the season and first point since Nov. 5 versus the Flyers. The 39-year-old blueliner has maintained a top-four role but has just six points to go with 42 shots, 27 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 21 outings.

Helpers in consecutive contests Burns notched an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact After starting the season quiet, Burns has a helper in each of the last two games. He's added 17 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through seven appearances. Burns continues to see heavy usage at even strength, which gives him plenty of opportunities to build some momentum on offense.

Earns first point of season Burns logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Burns has maintained his usual top-four role this season, albeit with less power-play time after the Hurricanes brought in Shayne Gostisbehere to quarterback the top unit. The 39-year-old Burns has been less effective -- his helper was his first point through six games, and he's added just 12 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating even with the Hurricanes off to a 4-2-0 start. Even in a down year, he had 43 points over 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but given his age, the bottom could fall out at any moment, so he's a risky fantasy play.
