"The doctors are still evaluating him," the coach said. "I know he doesn't feel good, and I would doubt that he's going to play for us tomorrow. It's knee on knee, he doesn't return, and he's not walking very well."
Expect Burns to miss at least tonight's game. In his first season with the Sharks, the Ajax, Ontario native has seven goals and 17 points through 46 games.

Nazem kadri joins the leafs this morning on a line with tim connolly and clarke macarthur.
Kadri scored eight goals and 22 points over 22 games with the Marlies.
Young Avalanche forwards Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog missed practice Sunday but both are expected to play in Monday's game against the Dallas Stars at the Pepsi Center.
Sounds like Landeskog needed a maintenance day. Even though he only has five goals and 10 points through 23 games, the rookie has contributed at all ends of the ice.
Also reunited today was the line of Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan O’Reilly and Daniel Winnik.
Landeskog moves back onto the second line with Ryan O'Reilly and Daniel Winnik. His five goals rank fifth on the team.

Burns-White
Burns has struggled at times adapting to his new system. Through his first 13 games he scored three goals but only added two helpers. Look for him to continue these growing pains in the early going.
Not that there seemed any doubt, but it is now official: Gabriel Landeskog will spend the rest of the season with the Avalanche.
Landeskog should stick on the second line all season as he continues to wow on the ice.

Leafs sending Kadri down to Marlies
Kadri loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value with his return to the AHL. Through three games this season, the highly-touted prospect produced one assist.

Forward Nazem Kadri has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League today and has joined the team in Boston.
Look for Kadri to start the game on the third line, playing with Matthew Lombardi and David Steckel.

Nazem Kadri has been assigned to the AHL Marlies
With Tyler Bozak firmly entrenched on the top line, the team no longer needs Kadri to step up before he is ready. Look for him to dominate the AHL and come back up when a role opens up.
Line Change
Kadri won't play on upcoming road trip. Bet he goes to minors soon.
The re-emergence of Tyler Bozak has made Kadri an afterthought in Toronto. While his short-term fantasy hockey value certainly diminishes he should be a top-6 forward sooner rather than later.
Kadri says he could be ready by Saturday.
If healthy, Kadri should take Tyler Bozak's spot on the top line.
Nazem kadri moves into green jersey with extras.
Kadri likely needs a few more days to recovery but could return as soon as this Saturday's game. When he does return, he could reclaim his spot on the top line if Tim Connolly is still injured.

I thought he played well,” McLellan said. “He defended well, and that’s the most important thing. I thought he created some pretty good offensive plays as well in five-on-five situations. He looked much more comfortable on the power play than he did throughout the exhibition season.
Burns was apparently nervous in his first game with the Sharks but still finished with an assist. Look for him to approach career highs in his first season in teal, especially if he develops chemistry with the rest of his linemates.
Nazem Kadri back on the ice skating this morning.
Certainly a good sign for Kadri owners. The 20-year-old managed 17 goals and 41 points through 44 games with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. He could have a great deal of fantasy hockey value if he returns to the top line.
Hearing Maple Leaf Nazem Kadri's knee injury will sideline him for three to four weeks. Official word expected from TOR in the morning.
Losing Kadri is a big hit to the team's depth chart. With Tim Connolly already injured, the former 7th overall pick was expected to center the top line. Expect a bigger role with the team when he does return, on either the first or third line.
Line Change
Free agent centre Tim Connolly wasn’t on the ice at the MasterCard Centre as Nazem Kadri moved in between wingers Jeffrey Lupul and Phil Kessel.
Kadri getting the first shot on the top line is telling for how the organization thinks of him. The 20-year-old managed 17 goals and 41 points through 44 games with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. He could have a great deal of fantasy hockey value if he sticks.
