One never knows who they'll bump into on the road.

A group of young men driving across the United States happened upon Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks at a New Mexico gas station, and the defenseman happily posed for a photo with the travelers.

Burns kept in touch after getting back on the road, explaining his somewhat shabby appearance.

With that, Burns cemented his reputation as one of the most likable players in the league.
