In a move to bolster their forward lines, the New Jersey Devils announced the recall of Angus Crookshank from their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets. The 23-year-old center will arrive in time for the team's morning skate on Friday, potentially making him available for upcoming games.
Crookshank has been a key contributor for Utica this season, appearing in 17 games and tallying five goals along with two assists for seven points. His goal total ranks second on the Comets, trailing only Xavier Parent's six goals. This performance highlights his scoring touch in the minor leagues as he transitions back to the NHL level.
Prior to joining the Devils organization, Crookshank gained NHL experience with the Ottawa Senators over the past two seasons. In 21 games with Ottawa, he notched two goals and two assists. This recall marks his first opportunity with New Jersey at the top level this year.
The Devils' decision comes amid their schedule, following recent games including a 3-0 loss to the Stars. Crookshank's addition could provide depth and energy to the forward group as the team prepares for upcoming matchups.
