Burns Finishes Plus 2 in Colorado's Win Over Montréal

Brent Burns did not show up on the scoresheet in Colorado's 4-1 win at Montréal, but the Avalanche defenceman still finished the night at plus 2.

He played 19:24 over 25 shifts, third among Colorado's 18 skaters and third among the team's six defencemen. He had no goals, no assists, no hits, no blocks and no giveaways. He recorded one shot attempt at even strength and none reached the net.

That is close to how his season has gone. Through 21 games he has 6 points, all assists, and no goals on 30 shots. Tonight's 19:24 sits above his season average of 16.6 minutes a game.

The plus 2 is the one number that stands out. It also moves his season mark to minus one. Colorado, now 11-6-3 on the year, took the win on the road, where it came in with a 4-5-1 record.
