Slings helper in loss Burns logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Burns snapped a three-game point drought with the helper. He's been limited to four assists over his last nine outings. The Hurricanes' inconsistency isn't helping him game, but it's also very possible the 38-year-old's age is catching up with his ability to be a force on offense. He's racked up a solid 13 points, 63 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 27 outings, but he'll be hard-pressed to match the 18-goal, 61-point campaign he recorded last season.

Hits major career milestone Burns had two assists in a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact Burns now has 600 career helpers in the NHL. He's the seventh defender in league history, ninth active player and only active defender to hit that milestone. Burns has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 23 games, which puts him into the NHL's top-40 scorers from that position. He's off his 61-point pace from last season, but could even up over time. But it could also be a sign of age-related decline -- Burns is now 38 and will finish another trip around the sun on March 9.

Five-shots in win Burns recorded five shots on goal to go along with two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact The six-time All-Star has figured out his stride in the past six games recording two goals and one assist. Burns has registered 16 shots on goal in this span to go along with eight blocked shots. The 38-year-old is still playing heavy minutes and is averaging 20:30 minutes of ice time in this span. He will continue to be on the first defensive pairing alongside Jaccob Slavin and continue to be the "quarterback" on the top power-play unit.

Snaps eight-game point drought Burns had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win Saturday over Tampa Bay.

Impact The points snapped an eight-game point drought. The goal was a big one -- it was Burns' 248th NHL goal, which pushed him past Hall of Famer Brian Leetch for ninth on the League's all-time goals list for defensemen. Burns has just six points (three goals, three assists) in 15 games this season, which is a big drop from his 61 points from last year. We don't know if the drop is age-related, a complete fluke or the wear-and-tear from 1,348 regular season games and another 109 in the postseason. It bears watching though.

Scores in two straight games Burns scored late in the second period during Carolina's 3-2 overtime win against the Devils on Thursday.

Impact Burns has played great this postseason, but it hasn't always showed up on the scoresheet. He has goals in two straight games, which is what you want from the offensive defender. Yet, those are the only two goals he has through 11 postseason contests. The goals come on the heels of five straight games without a single point. He hasn't been the electric offensive threat managers hope they're rostering when they think of Burns' reputation.
