Brent Burns Remains Day-to-Day Before Conference Finals

Brent Burns being listed day-to-day is the sort of update that keeps a coaching staff busy and a fan base nervous. At this stage, teams are not just protecting players - they are managing every possibility, because one missing veteran can change the way five-man units function. Burns has spent enough time around the league to know that playoff availability is part medical report, part poker game. The closer the conference finals get, the more every practice note starts to matter.
