With all five players passing the 10 game mark, I thought it would be a good time for an update. You will recall we're comparing Brent Burns to other young high-profile defensemen in the league right now.
Player GP G-A-Pts Pts/Gm
Burns 11 1-3-4 0.36
Green 10 2-6-8 0.80
Weber 10 3-3-6 0.60
Phaneuf 10 5-4-9 0.90
Bouwmeester 10 1-5-6 0.60
Player PwrPlyPts, +/-, PIM, TOI, GWG
Burns 3, -11, 8, 23:59, 0
Green 2, +3, 14, 26:58, 0
Weber 2, E, 4, 25:27, 1
Phaneuf 4, E, 4, 23:40, 1
Bouwmeester 2, +5, 10, 26:54, 0
So, Burns is clearly struggling in the early going. That -11 is a league-worst number. Obviously there's still time to realize the turnaround season that Burns and Wild fans everywhere had been hoping for. But he's got to get it going as soon as possible.
