Brent Burns Posts Assist in Avalanche’s Dominant Win Over Oilers
Veteran defenseman Brent Burns contributed one assist as the Avalanche crushed the Oilers 9–1 on Saturday night. Despite recent struggles with consistency in the offensive zone, Burns remains a key presence on the blueline.
Over his last nine games, Burns has tallied points in just three appearances, totaling one goal and two assists. Still, his offensive skill continues to stand out early in the season, as he has recorded seven points overall (one goal, six assists).
“Burns has fought consistency issues in the offensive zone of late,” wrote team correspondent Chris Schommer.
