Coyotes' Lawson Crouse: Factors in on both goals in loss

Crouse scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Crouse set up Phil Kessel in the second period, and the latter returned the favor on a go-ahead goal late in the third. That wasn't enough for the Coyotes, as the Sharks rallied back. Crouse secured his first 20-goal campaign Sunday -- he's at 34 points, 125 shots on net, 175 hits, 50 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 61 contests. It's already been a career year for the 24-year-old, and if the Coyotes ship out more players ahead of Monday's deadline, Crouse will likely see a more consistent role in the top six.
