Brent Burns had a goal and an assist as the San Jose Sharks spoiled the return of former captain Joe Pavelski, defeating the visiting Dallas Stars 2-1 Saturday night. The Sharks played their second straight game without current captain Logan Couture, who suffered a fractured left ankle Tuesday against St. Louis. Burns tied the score at 15:33 of the first, as Timo Meier’s shot from the top of the right faceoff circle deflected off the back of Burns’ left skate and through Khudobin’s legs. Sharks forward Joe Thornton played in his 1,613th game, passing Ray Bourque for 11th in league history. The Sharks swept their two-game homestand and will travel to Arizona for a game Tuesday night.
