SAN JOSE — Sharks’ defenseman Brent Burns had to leave Saturday’s game with the Dallas Stars midway through the second period, but later returned early in the third,

Burns left the game with 10:22 left in the second period shortly after he took a hit from Stars forward Roope Hintz.

Burns had just taken the puck from defense partner Brenden Dillon in the neutral zone and fired it toward Timo Meier when Hintz closed on him.
