Brent Burns was in the San Jose lineup for the first time this season in a 1-0 shootout loss to Phoenix Saturday.
Burns played 20:38 in the game and registered one shot on goal while skating with the team's second power-play unit. "It was kind of what I expected -- a little bit of a blur first period, then you kind of get into it a little bit," Burns said. The offensive blue liner showed a little rust in his return, but is safe to activate in your fantasy league if you normally would.
