Burish (hand) could play in Thursday's Game 5 against the Kings, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.Burish skated with the regulars at Thursday's morning skate, but has to meet with coaches before a decision is made about whether he will be in the lineup Thursday or not.

05/21/2013 07:20 Sharks' Burish Dealing With Broken Hand
Burish's upper body injury has been classified as a broken hand, CSN Bay Area reports.Burish has already been ruled out for the remainder of the second-round series against the Kings. While Burish maintained that he'd like to get on the ice at some point in the series, that seems unlikely to happen until he actually gets on the ice in practice, which he is not yet doing.
Adam Burish is a fourth-line buzz saw who opponents hate to play against. He doesn't care about individual statistics; he cares about winning. Nothing more and nothing less. He's tough and aggressive, and he doesn't take a shift off, and that rubs off on everyone around him. And by the way -- he can kill penalties, too, so there's always a chance at those elusive shorthanded points. He'll give you about 20 points to go along with his 90-100 PIMs. It's nice to have non-pylons to help with your sin bin needs, isn't it? (Updated 8/14/12)
