Brent Burns can celebrate after all.

The San Jose Sharks defenseman set the franchise record for goals in a season by a blue-liner thanks to a scoring change Wednesday afternoon, nearly two days after having the goal taken away.

Burns was initially credited with a goal in the second period of a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night.

It was later given to Joe Pavelski, nullifying Burns' achievement until Wednesday's decision to restore the original decision.

The lesson here: Always trust your instincts.
