Burrows sparks Canucks’ 4-2 win over Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Vancouver Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows doesn’t shy away from his reputation as a pest.
He made his irritating presence felt with a couple points and a couple penalty minutes for the Canucks in a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night.
“I’ve had a few of those back in the days,” Burrows said of his unconventional double-double. “But it’s always part of my game a little bit. For me, I want to help this team to make the playoffs. And hopefully tonight’s a step in the right direction.”
In the first period, Burrows slashed and shoved Buffalo goalie Robin Lehner behind the play, and Lehner retaliated with a shove. After the two were separated, Sabres defenceman Justin Falk took a high-speed run at Burrows and bowled him over.
