San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns set a couple of franchise marks Tuesday with two goals on Brian Elliott.
Burns set the franchise record for most points by a defenseman in a single postseason and tied the franchise mark with his fifth goal of the playoffs, which gave the Sharks a 2-0 edge over the St. Louis Blues.
Burns collected his sixth goal of the playoffs later in the third period to eclipse Mike Rathje's franchise record.
