That's five straight defeats and nine of 11 total losses by a goal.
"If we don't start winning, we have two options," said Burke. "One, we make a trade, and if I could make one that puts us in the playoffs, I would. But trades are hard to make.
"Two, we send somebody on a one-way (contract) down and call up the kids.
