Burns Adds an Assist and a Plus Night in Colorado's Win at Chicago

Brent Burns finished with one assist, a plus 1 and three shots on goal in 18:05 of ice time as the Avalanche beat the Blackhawks 5-2 in Chicago.

The assist came at even strength, where all three of his shots and six shot attempts also came. He logged 23 shifts, sixth among Colorado's 18 skaters and fourth among the team's six defencemen in ice time. He also had one takeaway and no giveaways, no penalty minutes, no hits and no blocked shots.

Against his season, it was a bit busier than usual. He came in with six assists in 15 games and no goals, averaging 16.4 minutes a night, so 18:05 and three shots is a step up.

The win came against a Chicago team that sits at 4-9-1 on the season.
