VANCOUVER - Alexandre Burrows has bounced around for the Vancouver Canucks this season, so maybe it was a only a matter of time before he found his way back alongside two familiar faces.The gritty winger skated with Henrik and Daniel Sedin on the top line at practice Monday, a spot he has filled many times in his career — but not much recently.It was a while ago, Henrik Sedin said the last time he played with Burrows. I dont think weve had more than a few shifts here and there the last two years. It should be fun.A former 35-goal man with the Canucks, Burrows had an injury plagued and inconsistent 2013-14 campaign in which he scored just five times in 49 games.The 33-year-old has nine goals and eight assists so far this season playing anywhere from the second to fourth line, and admitted to some rust after taking up his old spot beside the talented twins ahead of Tuesdays home game against the New York Islanders.I wasnt very good in practice on those rushes, said Burrows. But Im sure (on Tuesday) if I give them the puck and go to the net hopefully it works out.Burrows, who had four straight seasons of at least 26 goals playing mostly with the Sedins, said his mindset changes when hes on Vancouvers No. 1 line.I think with other guys I try to make more plays, said Burrows. Whereas with them as soon as I get it, if I can find one of them I try to give them the puck and bring a check with me and go to the net and open some space for them to work their magic.Burrows replaced Radim Vrbata on the top unit, a move head coach Willie Desjardins said was made with an eye on generating more offence at even strength for a team that sits second in the Pacific Division.(Burrows) has been good there in the past and I think it just gives us a different look more than anything, said the rookie coach. Thats why well give it a try.If Desjardins does stay with the lines from Monday — and he usually practises the way he plans to play — Vrbata will slot in on the second line with Nick Bonino and Chris Higgins, who are each mired in dreadful goal droughts.Bonino has just one goal over his last 23 games while Higgins has scored once in the last 14. Desjardins said he hopes adding Vrbata — who has scored in three straight games and has 16 on the season — will help get the pair back on track.Hes a real good player, Desjardins said of the free-agent winger. Hes been great for us. Hes both a passer and a shooter. Hes a good offensive player so maybe hell be able to help get that line going a bit. Time will tell.Vrbata — who has played almost the entire season with the Sedins — said he had no problem with the move.I just try to play the same as I do with Daniel and Henrik. Hopefully something will work for us, he said. If you can have more lines able to score I think the other team has to protect a little more.While the Canucks have struggled to score 5 on 5 recently, the power play has been lights out over the last six games, going 7 for 16, including two against the Detroit Red Wings in Saturdays 4-1 victory.One of the big changes has been the addition of Burrows standing in front of the net on the No. 1 unit with the Sedins, Vrbata and defenceman Alexander Edler.Power play has been unbelievable. Its just the job (Burrows) does in front of the net, said Henrik Sedin. You can make a lot of plays on the outside to set up shots, but if you dont get the screen in front and the traffic youre not going to score in this league. He means a lot to us.The power play is currently ranked ninth overall — it finished 26th when Vancouver missed the playoffs last season — and Vrbata also credited Burrows for the recent surge after a lull in early December.He makes a big difference because hes the body in front and hes creating screens, said Vrbata, who had a power-play goal against the Red Wings. That always helps and I think early in the season we were scoring on lots of backdoor plays. Teams read that, they adjust.We were still moving the puck pretty well. We were getting shots, but it seemed most of the shots from (Edler) or me, the goalie could see them. Those were good looks, but with (Burrows screening) it makes a difference.Burrows was quick to deflect any accolades sent his way for the power-play units success, but he was in the thick of it in front of the net on both goals against Detroit.In this league thats how you score ... theres not a lot of room out there, he said. Youve got to generate goals by shooting pucks and hopefully getting some tips and rebounds and getting goalies faces to score.___Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter Discount MLB Jerseys .
