The Arizona Coyotes continue to make moves Monday afternoon.
The team has assigned forward Brayden Burke to AHL-affiliate Tucson Roadrunners, Arizona announced.
Burke, 22, has recorded 11 goals and 13 assists for 24 total points as a member of the Roadrunners this season. He’s also registered 14 penalty minutes.

The forward signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Coyotes back in March 2018.

The Coyotes’ next matchup is Tuesday, when the team travels to San Jose take on the Sharks.
