Brent Burns is set to play his 911th consecutive game for the Carolina Hurricanes against the San Jose Sharks, marking the fifth-longest streak in NHL history. Burns, known for his standout performance as a defenseman, played a crucial role for the Sharks from 2015 to 2019, becoming the league's most productive defenseman during that time. Although he now plays for the Hurricanes, his return to San Jose is notable as he approaches 1,500 career games and aims for Phil Kessel's record streak of 1,064 consecutive games.
It's always special to see Burns in San Jose, where the 40-year-old became a superstar. From 2015 to 2019, Burns was the most productive defenseman in the NHL.
When the Carolina Hurricanes step on the ice against the Sharks on Thursday night at SAP Center, Burns will play his 911th consecutive game, the fifth-longest streak in NHL history.
