VIDEO: Canucks' Burrows matches 2013-14 goal total with timely deflection

Anne-Marie Sorvin / USA Today

Alex Burrows was limited to five goals in 49 games last season - a total he has matched in 17 contests to start 2014-15.

Early in the second period of Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils, Burrows popped out from behind the Devils' net to deflect Kevin Bieksa's point shot past Cory Schneider and put the Vancouver Canucks ahead 1-0.  

The play was more reminiscent of the Burrows who scored at least 26 goals in four straight seasons from 2008-2012 than the one who has recently struggled with injuries and consistency.
