Burmistrov has been a healthy scratch for the Jets last four games. He will return to the lineup tonight, likely in the place of Patrice Cormier. He has just seven points in 25 games this season.
The extent of the injury is not known, but an IceCaps spokesman said Tuesday night that with a four-day break in the schedule before the club returns to the ice again Friday night in St. John's against Springfield, the team opted to have Burmistrov checked out by the Jets medical staff.
Not much to go on here but the budding Jets' star should be able to return soon.
