Burns Blocks Two, Gives It Away Three Times in Colorado's One-Goal Loss
The Avalanche defenceman stays off the scoresheet as New Jersey edges Colorado 4-3 and Colorado slips to two straight losses.
Brent Burns had a quiet night in a 4-3 loss to the Devils: no goals, no assists, and an even plus-minus. The Avalanche defenceman played 15:47 over 17 shifts, which ranked 12th among 18 Colorado skaters and fifth among the team's seven defencemen.
He put 2 shots on goal, both at even strength, from 5 attempts, and blocked 2 shots. He also had 1 takeaway but gave the puck away 3 times, a notable number for him: he has 10 giveaways through 10 games this season.
That is about in line with his year. Burns has 3 assists and no goals in 10 games, and he averages 16.1 minutes. His 15:47 here was a touch under that. He took no penalties, and nothing he did changed the result as Colorado fell to 5-4-1.
