Canucks' Kyle Burroughs: Pockets helper Monday
Rotowire
Burroughs notched an assist and five hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.
The helper was Burroughs' first point since he scored a goal Nov. 27 in San Jose. In that span, the defenseman sat out 25 games as a healthy scratch, and he went empty in 15 contests. The 27-year-old has three points, 96 hits, 49 blocked shots, 37 PIM, 29 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 29 appearances, providing more toughness than scoring in a bottom-four role.

Canucks' Kyle Burroughs: Stuck in press box
Rotowire
Burroughs has been a healthy scratch during the past eight games.
With the Canucks blue line getting healthier, Burroughs finds himself as the odd one out. He's played 17 games this season, posting two goals, 15 shots, 30 PIM, 56 hits, 36 blocks, and a minus-10 rating. It's safe to keep him off your fantasy roster until he sees regular playing time again.

Canucks' Kyle Burroughs: Tallies in first period
Rotowire
Burroughs scored a goal, blocked five shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
Burroughs has been in and out of the lineup this year as a depth defenseman. He's played in three straight games and five of the last seven, but this was his first point since his goal Oct. 15 versus the Flyers. The 27-year-old has added 13 shots on net, 43 hits, 21 PIM, 30 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 13 contests overall. Outside of toughness, Burroughs doesn't have much to add in fantasy.
Burroughs notched a goal and a fight during Saturday's loss to the Flyers.
The tally marks Burroughs' second career NHL goal. The 27-year-old has 49 games under his belt, playing a more physical role. Don't expect him to contribute offensively on a regular basis, but he will help with PIM and hits.

Rotowire
Burroughs (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.
As of Monday, Burroughs is considered week-to-week with the injury. Phil Di Giuseppe was called up from AHL Abbotsford in a corresponding move. Burroughs is unlikely to play again in February, though fantasy managers don't need to track the physical defenseman's recovery closely.

Canucks' Kyle Burroughs: Update not positive
Rotowire
Burroughs' (undisclosed) injury didn't look good according to head coach Bruce Boudreau, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Burroughs left Saturday's game in the first period, and it sounds like he'll be out longer than that. Brad Hunt is likely to take Burroughs' place in the lineup, though Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) also left the contest, which may require the Canucks to summon a defenseman from AHL Abbotsford.

Rotowire
Burroughs (leg) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Canucks' Kyle Burroughs: Out until early February
Rotowire
Burroughs (leg) won't return before the All-Star Break, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
Burroughs missed Tuesday's game versus Edmonton and will miss at least four more while he recovers from the leg injury. The defenseman's meager production (three points in 31 games) has led to a reduction in playing time this month, so he doesn't figure to be a staple in Vancouver's defense corps once healthy.

Burroughs has been in and out of the lineup in January, most recently playing in a 3-1 loss to the Blues on Sunday. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but he may need to miss some time to recover. Ashton Sautner and Brad Hunt will compete for playing time as long as Burroughs is out.
