Burrows has been assessed a $5,000 fine for roughing Sharks defenseman Dylan DeMelo in Friday night's game.

EDGE Analysis

The gritty winger was tossed from the contest after picking up a game misconduct penalty as part of a scrum with Demelo, who sustained a scratched cornea when Burrows hit him with his stick, but fortunately didn't end up missing Sunday's action against the Wild. Burrows' 19 penalty minutes may have helped out select fantasy owners, but that category is used less often these days given that owners are filling rosters with speedy scorers rather than enforcer types. Burrows isn't necessarily a goon, yet long gone are his days notching 50-plus points per season. He's only recorded three goals and three assists through 28 games this year.
