Brent Burns contributed one assist during the Avalanche's commanding 9-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. His performance added to the team's dominant display on both ends of the ice.
The veteran defenseman has faced some inconsistency in recent offensive play, notching points in only three of his last nine outings, totaling one goal and two assists. Despite this, Burns continues to demonstrate his offensive instincts from the blue line, reaching seven points this season (one goal, six assists).
