Watch: Burns beats Greiss from center ice with assist by De Haan

Get your stick out of the way.

New York Islanders defenseman Calvin de Haan tried to stop a Brent Burns rocket from just inside center ice Friday, but ultimately redirected the puck past his handcuffed goalie, Thomas Greiss.

The goal was Burns' eighth of the season and, after Joe Pavelski scored just 34 seconds earlier, gave the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 lead early in the second period.
