The Arizona Coyotes have recalled forward Lawson Crouse from their AHL affiliate Tucson Roadrunners, Coyotes general manager John Chayka announced Tuesday.

In October, Crouse was assigned to Tucson after appearing in seven of the Coyotes’ first nine games of the season, where he failed to record a goal or an assist.

The 20-year-old native of Mt. Brydges, Ont. recorded three goals and seven assists in 17 games played, while in Tucson. Crouse also recorded 30 penalty minutes while with the Roadrunners.

A 2015 first round pick by the Florida Panthers in 2015, Crouse has recorded five goals and seven assists in 79 career games with the Coyotes, 72 of which came in the 2016-17 season.
