Hurricanes' Brent Burns: Strikes early in win
Brent Burns scored a goal on seven shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.Burns has two goals and two assists over four games since the holiday break. The 39-year-old's resurgence on offense can be partially attributed to the absence of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body). Burns is on the top power-play unit, and he's likely to have a short-term boost in scoring while Gostisbehere is hurt. For the season, Burns is at 13 points, 85 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances.

Hurricanes' Brent Burns: Two points in defeat
Brent Burns recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.Burns picked up an even-strength assist in the first period before ripping one past Jacob Markstrom to tie the score at 2-2 early in the middle frame. Surprisingly, it was just the second multi-point effort of the campaign for Burns and first since Nov. 5. The right-shot blueliner isn't the coveted fantasy asset he once was, but he's just one injury away from quarterbacking the league's sixth-ranked power-play unit. Burns has chipped in three goals and 11 points through 35 appearances.

Hurricanes' Brent Burns: Provides apple in loss
Brent Burns notched an assist in Friday's 3-1 loss to Washington.Burns produced the secondary assist on Seth Jarvis' third-period goal to end Charlie Lindgren's shutout bid. The helper snapped a three-game point drought for Burns. The right-shot blueliner's offensive output has decreased at 39 years old, and he's currently on pace for just 23 points. The 2003 first-round selection's value would increase if he was the quarterback of the No. 1 power-play unit, but Shayne Gostisbehere has filled that role admirably with 18 points on the man advantage in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Brent Burns: Slides helper in win
Brent Burns notched an assist and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.Burns' offense hasn't been consistent this season -- he ended a four-game slump with this helper. The defenseman is now at seven points, 51 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 26 appearances. While he can help in other areas, it's unlikely the 39-year-old gets back to a 40-point pace over the remainder of the season, so his fantasy value will be low.
