Alexander Burmistrov logged a season-high 20:45 of ice time in Tuesday's shootout win against Tampa Bay.
The Jets third line of Burmistrov, Eric Tangradi and Mike Santorelli was praised for their work after the contest by coach Claude Noel. "I thought they were outstanding," Noel said. "I thought they were really good. That was one of the better games I've seen Burmi play. He was really good." From a fantasy standpoint, Burmistrov had two shots, a minus-1 rating and four hits. He's taking a defensive role as the regular season nears completion.

Alexander Burmistrov scored the only Winnipeg goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.
The Russian forward has yet to take the type of step forward the Jets had hoped for and Burmistrov's name was bandied about in numerous trade rumors leading up to the deadline, which may have jolted him back to life. Thursday's goal was his fourth of the campaign in 35 games.

Alexander Burmistrov will be back in the Jets' lineup Tuesday night.
Burmistrov has been a healthy scratch the last four games, although coach Claude Noel said after Sunday's loss that he needs to play his fourth line more, making Burmistrov's return to the lineup a sensible one. There's no fantasy value here though, so this shouldn't affect most formats.

The timing may be right for Alexander Burmistrov to get back into Winnipeg's lineup.
Coach Claude Noel said after Sunday's 4-1 loss to Ottawa that he needs to play his fourth line a bit more, especially with a busy four-game home stand this week. It would make sense for Burmistrov to return from the press box, possibly as early as Tuesday's game versus Boston. He has been a healthy scratch for the last four games.

It's unclear if Alexander Burmistrov will be back in the lineup Thursday against the New York Rangers.
The most coach Claude Noel would talk about the subject referred to it as a "a game-time decision." Burmistrov has three goals and seven points on the year, along with 58 hits, in 25 games. The Jets won when they scratched him on Tuesday.

Alexander Burmistrov was a healthy scratch Tuesday night.
He didn't play in the team's win over Toronto after being benched for most of Sunday's shootout loss against New Jersey. Coach Claude Noel was asked for a reason behind the decision and his only comment on the matter was: "He's been OK. I like Alexander. He's a good player. He can be a real good player."

Alexander Burmistrov was benched for most of Sunday's shootout loss to New Jersey.
He logged a season-low 9:22 of ice time versus the Devils and played just one shift after the first period. Burmistrov saw a season-high 19:54 of ice time last Thursday, so coach Claude Noel must've noticed a significant drop off in the 21-year-old's game. He has scored a mere three goals and seven points in 25 contests.

Alexander Burmistrov was disappointed in the Jets' loss, their fourth in a row at home.
"It's another tough game, another one we should win," he said. "It's been tough, tough when you're winning the game and you're playing good and something goes wrong and you lose the game. I think everybody has to play their A game, including myself. I can't win the faceoff (4-for-9). My game tonight was struggling in the faceoffs. My linemates never started with the puck. It's tough when the little details, you're not doing them." Burmistrov has just four points on the year, two of which came Sunday.

Alexander Burmistrov scored a goal and added an assist in the Jets' 3-2 loss to Boston Sunday evening.
Burmistrov has failed to live up to the expectations placed on him after he was a first round pick of the Thrashers in the 2010 draft, but he is slowly starting to develop. Evander Kane also snapped an eight-game scoring drought with a second period goal in the loss.

Alexander Burmistrov potted his first goal of the season in Winnipeg's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders on Sunday.
His opening marker of the 2013 campaign came with 5:56 remaining in regulation and it sent the game into extra time, where Evander Kane netted the contest's winning tally. Burmistrov's snapped a four-game pointless streak to start the season with the goal.

Winnipeg coach Claude Noel is fan of Alexander Burmistrov.
"He's a really dependable player, a good player," said Noel. "He can play a lot of different ways and eventually his offense is going to catch up. That's just a matter of time and sometimes you don't know with young players. I know Burmi, I like him. I don't see him as a guy I'm looking to take out, I'm looking to help him." Burmistrov put up 11 points in 22 appearances with St. John's in the AHL during the lockout and should occupy a bottom-six role with the Jets once the season starts.
