Burns ended a four-game point drought with the helper. The 40-year-old defenseman has just four points (two on the power play) over 13 playoff contests. He's added 18 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating while skating alongside Jaccob Slavin in a top-pairing role.

EDGE Analysis

Burns got on the scoresheet for the first time this postseason and was able to do so with a two-point performance, which snapped his five-game dry spell in the process. The veteran defenseman set up the first of Andrei Svechnikov's three goals early in the first period before giving Carolina a 4-2 lead at 14:14 of the third. Burns has accounted for five shots on goal, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while averaging 22:31 of ice time over four playoff outings. Burns and his squad will return home with a chance to eliminate the Devils in Game 5 on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Burns' first multi-point effort since Jan. 15 versus the Sabres. He helped out on third-period goals by Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis as the Hurricanes dug out of a 4-2 hole to force overtime. Burns is up to 28 points, 172 shots on net, 97 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 78 appearances this season, so he's still at risk of falling short of the 30-point mark for the second time in five years.

The 40-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 26 points, 170 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 75 appearances. Burns is set for unrestricted free agency this summer, but it's unclear if the NHL's active ironman will opt to continue his career. If he does, he will have a chance to become the second player in league history to play in 1,000 consecutive contests.

Burns skated in his 900th straight game dating back to Nov. 21, 2013. The native of Barrie, Ontario is the sixth player in NHL history to accomplish the feat.
