Latest news
Burns notched two assists, four shots on goal, two hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Burns has had some trouble getting traction on offense this season. His performance Wednesday ended an eight-game drought, though he started the year with three helpers over four contests. The 41-year-old defenseman has five assists, 19 shots on net, 16 blocks, seven hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances. Burns is 45 games away from setting the NHL's ironman record, which he is likely to do as long as his health holds up, as head coach Jared Bednar indicated before the season he wouldn't end the blueliner's games-played streak with a scratch.

Head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Friday that he will not be the one to end Burns' ironman streak, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Burns has the longest active ironman streak in the NHL, having played in 1,007 consecutive regular-season games since the streak began in 2013. The defenseman sits 58 games away from surpassing Phil Kessel's record. Bednar's comments indicate that as long as Burns avoids injuries and illness in 2026-27, he will get the chance to set the record. Burns had 35 points, 172 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-33 rating over 82 regular-season contests in 2025-26, so he could still carve out enough fantasy value to help in a depth capacity.

- Fantasy hockey sleepers and busts: Players to draft or avoid at current draft spot
Who are the players going too high, or too low, compared to their expected fantasy hockey production?
ESPN · Sep 18
Burns signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with Colorado on Friday.
Burns and Corey Perry are the last two players remaining from the 2003 NHL Draft class, having both been selected in the first round that year. The 41-year-old Burns also leads that group in games played, having logged 1,579 regular-season contests, in which he has produced 273 goals and 672 assists, while also making 148 postseason appearances. Despite the impressive resume, Burns' return for another year is almost certainly linked to trying to win the Stanley Cup, a feat which has thus far eluded him.

Burns (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Burns sat out some on-ice sessions after Colorado's series-clinching 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota last Wednesday. However, he should be ready for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Vegas this Wednesday. Burns has contributed three assists, 14 shots on goal, six blocked shots and 13 hits in nine appearances this postseason.

Burns still has plenty of time to return to the ice and prepare to play before Game 1 against Vegas on Wednesday. After the first two rounds of the postseason, he has collected three assists, 14 shots on goal, six blocked shots and 13 hits in nine appearances.
