Hurricanes at Sharks Preview: Brent Burns Returns
The Carolina Hurricanes will make their only stop at SAP Center this season for the San Jose Sharks’ home opener on Friday. Along with team comes a familiar face — yes, we’re talking about fan favorite forward Stefan Noesen and his goal song, Hakuta Matata. Tagging along with Noesen is up-and-coming defender Brent Burns, who spent 11 seasons roaming the blue line (with some time on the wing, too) and is the most decorated defender in Sharks history.
While Burns has done almost everything possible while playing for San Jose, general manager Mike Grier traded the veteran to Hurricanes this summer, giving the defender a chance for the one thing that has eluded the Sharks: a Stanley Cup.
