Brent Burns can't be stopped.
The San Jose Sharks defenseman accepted a beautiful pass from Joe Pavelski and dropped an even nicer deke on John Gibson to score the 10th overtime goal of his career Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks.
As a result, he jumped into second place for most regular-season overtime goals by a defenseman.
