The 28-year-old defenseman is likely benefiting from the Sharks scoring at least four goals in all five of their games in December -- some of that offense is trickling down to the physical blueliner. He's at four assists, 31 shots on net, 33 PIM, 55 blocked shots and 57 hits through 27 outings overall. Burroughs' defensive skill set should help him stay in a top-four role. |

He's played 17 games this season, posting two goals, 15 shots, 30 PIM, 56 hits, 36 blocks, and a minus-10 rating.

In 36 games this year, the 26-year-old Burroughs has managed just five points and 33 shots, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, out of the defenseman moving forward. |

Burroughs (leg) won't return before the All-Star Break, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports. - Burroughs missed Tuesday's game versus Edmonton and will miss at least four more while he recovers from the leg injury. The defenseman's meager production (three points in 31 games) has led to a reduction in playing time this month, so he doesn't figure to be a staple in Vancouver's defense corps once healthy. |

The 26-year-old Burroughs has three points, 64 hits, 30 shots on net and a minus-5 rating in 26 appearances.
