Brent Burns has himself a spot in the San Jose Sharks' record books.
Burns drew the primary assist on Joe Pavelski's empty-netter in a 3-0 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday night, and it was a historic helper.
And with that assist, @Burnzie88 has set a #SJSharks record for most points by a defenseman in a single season (65).
