Brent Burns notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday’s 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.

The 37-year-old Burns has two goals and two assists during the streak, bringing his point total for the year up to seven in nine games. The defenseman has added 34 shots on net, five blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-3 rating.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Steven Stamkos picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Senators. He helped set up Mikhail Sergachev in the second period and Alex Killorn in the third for Tampa Bay’s first two tallies of the night. Stamkos snapped a four-game point drought with the performance, but despite that mini-slump the veteran center is up to seven goals and 11 points through 10 games on the season.
