SAN JOSE – Given the Sharks penchant for comebacks through their current playoff run, it sure started to look as though Brent Burns was going to tie things up in the final minutes of Game 2.
Having already set up the opening goal of the evening, Burns then found the back of the net twice in the third frame to bring San Jose within one goal of the visiting Colorado squad. Although San Jose ended up dropping that game 4-3, Burns ended the night with his second consecutive multi-point game.
Burns is heating up offensively, and the Avalanche know if they’re going to outdo the Sharks in the second round, they’ll have to keep an eye on Burns.
