SAN JOSE
Authentic Kalen Ballage Jersey , Calif. (AP) Brent Burns makes things difficult when he’s only playing one position in a game. Switching positions
during the game makes it even harder.
Burns and Chris Tierney each had a goal and an assist, and the San Jose Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Thursday night for their third win in
four games.
Mikkel Boedker and Marcus Sorensen also scored for the Sharks, who improved to 3-0-1 against the Canucks this season. Martin Jones stopped 43
shots.

”It’s fun to play hockey in the NHL. It doesn’t matter where,” Burns said. ”I don’t mind switching back and forth. It’s all chemistry and the way you mesh
together.”
Burns said he learned about playing forward from Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski and that he constantly works on his game to fine-tune things.
”He’s a heck of a player

players in the league. He’s the whole package. He’s got good vision. He’s got a
hammer of a shot. He doesn’t just shoot the puck; he gets it through. And he’s
hard to forecheck. He’s just a really good player.”
Daniel Sedin scored for the Canucks, who have lost six of seven. Anders Nilsson made 26 stops.
”We have to try and be more consistent with our game no matter what the score is or how things are bouncing,” the Canucks’ Bo Horvat said. ”We have to stick
with the process and I thought we did a good job of that tonight. A couple of
breakdowns and it cost us.”
Boedker scored at 8:41 of the first period, picking up a soft rebound from Tierney’s shot.
