If Brent Burns struggles, can Sharks’ depth come through?

FARMER’S BRANCH, Texas — The Sharks should have enough depth to win games even when an explosive player like Brent Burns is mired in an extended points drought.

It’s when a handful of his teammates experience the same problem that losing streaks, like the one the Sharks are on, start to happen.

The Sharks have scored a combined four goals in the four straight games that they’ve lost going into Friday’s game against the Dallas Stars. Burns may not have a point in his last seven, but there also comes a time when others simply need to pick it up.
