After five seasons with the Albany Devils of the AHL while within the Devils organization, Burlon left as a free agent following the 2015–16 season. On August 3, 2016, Burlon opted to continue his AHL career, signing a one-year deal with new AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes, the Tucson Roadrunners.[4] In signing, Burlon became the club's first addition to their inaugural season in 2016–17.[5] In his season with the Roadrunners, Burlon was limited to just 33 games due to injury, recording 3 goals and 11 points.
