Burns, Tierney lead Sharks to 4-1 win over Canucks
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Brent Burns makes things difficult when he’s only playing one position in a game. Switching positions during the game makes it even harder.
Burns and Chris Tierney each had a goal and an assist, and the San Jose Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Thursday night for their third win in four games.
Mikkel Boedker and Marcus Sorensen also scored for the Sharks, who improved to 3-0-1 against the Canucks this season. Martin Jones stopped 43 shots.
Burns lined up as a wing during the first period but was a defenceman when he scored in the second period.
