Brent Burns | Fantasy Outlook

Burns anchors second pairing as Avalanche host Blues at Ball Arena

Brent Burns and the Avalanche host the division rival St. Louis Blues tonight at Ball Arena in what is expected to be a higher-scoring matchup. Colorado enters as solid home favorites facing confirmed goaltender Jordan Binnington. Burns, currently continuing his historic NHL Ironman pursuit in his 23rd season, is deployed on Colorado's second pairing alongside Gabriel Landeskog and Brock Nelson while featuring on the top penalty-killing unit. Coming off an assist and a block across 15 minutes of ice time in his season opener, the veteran defenseman offers reliable real-world stability for a potent Avalanche squad.

Our projection anticipates a modest fantasy outing for Burns tonight, expecting ~1–2 shots on goal, ~1 blocked shot, and a low point expectation, translating to roughly 2.5 fantasy points without power-play involvement. Looking across the week, tonight represents the second and final contest of Colorado's brief two-game schedule, leaving fantasy managers with limited remaining volume. While his floor is insulated by shot-blocking peripherals and even-strength deployment on a high-powered offense, his lack of special-teams scoring caps his ceiling. Today's action: Cautious Start.
