Impressively, Burns holds the fourth-longest ironman streak in NHL history, with 925 consecutive regular-season appearances. He hasn't missed a game since November 2013.

The tally by the defenseman was just his third on the season in 32 games. Even with the goal, Burns is still just shooting at a rate of 3.5%. The defenseman has not shot this poorly since his final year in Minnesota (2010). Father Time may be soon catching up to the almost 37-year old blueliner but that shot is still fast. One has to think a few more goals and points are to come in 2022.

He's playing a massive 27:28 a night but has actually picked up points in only five outings.
