“We have a really good relationship. Obviously there's room to improve, feeling comfortable with each other and knowing each other's strengths, how to benefit from it and how we can just form the best connection,” Burger said during a Province media conference yesterday.

“I think we're feeling quite comfortable and feeling quite strong going forward.”

Asked what each player brought to the partnership, Burger said: “It was our first game together in preseason so there’s still little things we're working on, just to get that combination all the better. But I think we match up really well.
