Burrows confirmed Monday that he missed the Canucks' final three playoff games due to fractured and dislocated rib cartilage.

Analysis:

Per the report, Burrows initially suffered the injury in Game 3 of the team's first-round series loss against the Flames, then aggravated the issue while taking a shot in practice. In any case, the 34-year-old winger -- who notched 18 goals, 33 points and 68 PIM in 70 regular-season games in 2014-15 -- now has the entire offseason to heal up. He's under contract with the Canucks for two more seasons, at a cap hit of $4.5 million.
