Coyotes General Manager John Chayka announced today that the Coyotes have claimed center Alexander Burmistrov off waivers from the Jets.

"We are pleased to acquire Alexander through the waiver process," said Chayka. "He's someone our scouts identified as having greater potential than he has currently shown. We're hopeful a change will help his game."

Burmistrov has collected two assists in 23 games with the Jets this season and has registered 30-51-81 in 298 career NHL games
