GLENDALE --Alexander Burmistrov has made an immediate impact with the Coyotes since they claimed him off waivers earlier this month.
The 25-year-old Russian center has chipped in five assists over his first five games with Arizona, including two on Monday night in a 3-2 overtime win over the Florida Panthers.
"I love it here," Burmistrov said after Tuesday's practice. "The team and the guys have been great to me, and we've started playing better and we're getting on the winning track. Everyone's smiling more, and I'm really happy to be here and to be getting this opportunity."
