Crouse posted an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and nine PIM in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Crouse could finally make the leap into a top-six role this year with the Coyotes lacking in proven forwards. He played 16:43 in Thursday's contest compared to a 14:18 average ice time last year. The 24-year-old hasn't always seen his offense click, but he's a heavy-hitting winger with a fair amount of opportunity ahead of him. The Ontario native produced 155 hits and 46 PIM in 51 contests last season.
