Watch: Burns goes bar down on Schneider
Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports
It was only a matter of time.
After recording five shots in just the first period Sunday, San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns finally broke through early in the second, whipping a shot off the crossbar and in past Cory Schneider.
The goal helped knot the game at 1-1, and for Burns it was his 23rd of the season - snapping a rare four-game goalless skid. Unfortunately, for the New Jersey Devils, Burns wasn't done there as he picked up No. 24 just minutes later.
