SAN JOSE — Defenseman Brent Burns — injured over the weekend — is considered probable to play Tuesday when the Sharks begin a three-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes, interim coach Bob Boughner said.
Burns suffered an upper body injury midway through Saturday’s game with the Dallas Stars when he took a hit from forward Roope Hintz. Burns left the game with 10:22 left in the second period but returned to the ice with just under 16 minutes left in the third. Burns had a goal and an assist in the game, which the Sharks won 2-1.
