Watch: Brent Burns scores on terrific individual effort

Brent Burns' position is open to interpretation.

The offensively minded San Jose Sharks defenseman went end-to-end to chase down the puck, then out-muscled Florida Panthers blue-liner Jason Demers before cutting the lead to 2-1 late in the first period Thursday night.

It was Burns' sixth goal and 13th point in 14 games.
