The Vancouver Canucks' in-house cleanup continues.

A week after relieving assistant general managers Laurence Gilman and Lorne Henning of their duties, as well as director of player personnel Eric Crawford, the team parted ways with head trainer Mike Burnstein, according to Jason Botchford of the Province.

Burnstein had been with the team for the past 20 years and nearly 1,600 games.

Assistant athletic trainer Jon Sanderson is reportedly expected to take over some of Burnstein's duties while physiotherapist Rick Celebrini takes on a bigger role with the club.
