You can doubt my next insider info if you like, but it comes from a very reliable source close to the Canucks: Burrows hurt his ribs when he fought Russell. Apparently, he was sore but what set it off was during practice when he was taking shots.
FYI - I'm not posting this for attention. I love my fellow Flames fans. I'm just passing on what I heard from a very reliable source.

It doesn't surprise me at all. I had already speculated to myself that the original injury was a result of his fight with Russell.
Of course the Canucks would say the entire injury was a result of the game day skate - to say he aggravated a rib injury from the previous game would be paramount to admitting he was bitch slapped by Russell. That would only further fuel the Flames' physical energy and dominance in the series.
I must say, it brings a smile of satisfaction to my face knowing that Burrows essentially took himself out of the series by boarding Gaudreau and then instigating the fight with Russell. His antics cost him big time, finally!
