"Alex Burrows was one-dimensional on Tuesday.

It only figures. The Vancouver Canucks' 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers was his first game in nearly six months.

When the Vancouver Canucks winger is at his best, he's driving to the net and chirping at opponents with equally reckless abandon. There was some of the former and very little of the latter in his 2010-11 season debut. It's only because Burrows was more focused on his own game than he was his opponents.

"One thing at a time," said Burrows, playfully. "I just tried to keep my shifts short, keep it simple and have good reads out there. It's going to take a couple of games."

Head coach Alain Vigneault didn't waste any time reuniting Burrows with Daniel and Henrik Sedin. The three played the whole game together, outside of the power play. Burrows finished the game with zeros across the board — no shots, hits or points — and was on ice for 15:29.

Burrows' best chance came midway through the first on a one-timer from the slot after a nice feed from Daniel. The puck hit Nikolai Khabibulin, who was moving from post-to-post, more than the Oilers goalie saved it."
