  • Good stuff on The Burns Experiment and the Sharks' deployment of defense pairings: "Jason Demers continues to be a mysterious scratch for the Sharks while Murray still gets consistent, dangerous playing time.

  • By the way, what's Burns' take on all of this? [CSN Bay Area]
  • Your NHL viewing guide for the week, including the upcoming home-and-home between the Sharks and Kings. [Grantland]
