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).

For the season, Burns is at 13 points, 85 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances.

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.

The right-shot blueliner's offensive output has decreased at 39 years old, and he's on pace for just 23 points.
