Brent Burns Considered Day-to-Day Ahead of Western Conference Finals.

Brent Burns missed Saturday’s practice session and is currently being evaluated on a day-to-day basis due to an undisclosed injury. The veteran defenseman still has several days to recover before Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, and there has been no indication yet that his status for the series opener is in jeopardy. Burns has continued to play an important role during the postseason, recording three assists through nine playoff appearances while adding 14 shots on goal, six blocked shots, and 13 hits. His physical presence and experience on the blue line have been key components of Colorado’s playoff run heading into the next round.
