The Sharks don't play again until Dec. 27 since their scheduled Dec. 21 and Dec. 23 games, vs. Vancouver and Edmonton respectively, have been postponed due to COVID travel concerns with teams from Canada.
Given the long gap between games, there's a chance Burns could play in that Dec. 27 game against the Anaheim Ducks if he passes all medical testing.
