Brent Burns Stands Alone In The Cup Chase

Brent Burns is the last former Houston Aero still skating with a shot at the Stanley Cup, which is a neat little reminder that hockey history never really leaves the room. The playoff grind always has a way of narrowing the field until only a few familiar names remain. Burns has the kind of veteran presence that front offices trust and opponents hate seeing across the ice. With the bracket thinning, his run carries a little extra weight for everyone who remembers where he started.
