Burrows, who suffered an undisclosed injury during morning skate, is expected to be fine for Tuesday's Game 4 against the Flames, TSN 1040 AM's Matthew Sekeres reports.
The Canucks recalled Scen Baertschi from AHL Utica, hinting at some kind of injury concern. While Burrows is apparently the banged-up player, he's still on track to play in Tuesday's game. Baertschi is expected to be a healthy scratch.

Burrows' instigator penalty from Sunday's Game 3 was rescinded and he will not be suspended for Tuesday's Game 4 against the Flames.
Burrows was charged with the penalty with less than two minutes remaining in the game, but the Department of Player Safety determined there wasn't any "retaliatory" nature in the incident. Expect him to see his usual minutes on the top line with the Sedin twins going forward.

Burrows collected 21 PIM in Sunday's Game 3 loss to the Flames.
This Flames and Canucks series has gotten vicious and Burrows was right in the middle of it Sunday. Burrows did receive an instigator in the last five minutes, which means a one-game suspension, but that can be rescinded -- which has already happened once in this series. While the 34-year-old was mixing it up physically in the loss, he was also a dangerous offensive threat, firing six shots on goal. It's possible he gets suspended, which would be a significant loss for the Canucks, who are now trailing Calgary 2-1 in their first round-series.

Burrows potted a pair of goals in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Jets.
Burrows now has four goals in his last four games but still just has 33 points in 67 games this season. He's been finding the back of the net at just the right time for Vancouver, who continues to chug along comfortably in the West's playoff race.

Burrows racked up a shorthanded goal, a power-play assist and 15 PIM in Tuesday's shootout win over Nashville.
The veteran's five-minute major for interference (and game misconduct) at the end of the third period set the Predators up with a great chance to win it, but fortunately for Burrows, Nashville whiffed on the extended man-advantage opportunity. The gritty winger certainly isn't the offensive force he once was, but he's got a decent skill-and-grit combo, with 31 points and 64 PIM in 65 games. He's also scored goals in consecutive games.

Burrows scored a pair of third-period goals just 17 seconds apart Tuesday in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
An impressive effort from the veteran winger, who snapped a five-game scoreless skid. Nonetheless, at this stage of his career, Burrows is a modest contributor in terms of both points and PIM, restricting his fantasy value to deep leagues.

Coach Willie Desjardins confirmed that Burrows will be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Flyers, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.
The undisclosed ailment prevented Burrows from being an option for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, but he seems to be good to go after taking to the ice during Monday's practice. He skated alongside Brad Richardson and Chris Higgins at Tuesday's morning session.
