Burns and Chris Tierney each had a goal and an assist, and the San Jose Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Thursday night for their third win in four games. Mikkel Boedker and Marcus Sorensen also scored for the Sharks, who improved to 3-0-1 against the Canucks this season. Burns lined up as a wing during the first period but was a defenceman when he scored in the second period. “I thought we generated a lot of good opportunities, a lot of shots, a lot of chances,” Horvat said. NOTES: D Tim Heed was recalled from the AHL and joined a makeshift Sharks lineup, allowing Burns to play up front at times.
