Professional career

He was immediately assigned to Ottawa's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators for the remainder of the season.[3] The following 2021–22 season was over shortly after it began, as Crookshank suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury in training camp. He returned to Belleville for the 2022–23 season and scored a team-leading 26 goals and 47 points in 71 games, good for fourth overall on the team.[4]

Crookshank was assigned to the AHL to begin the 2023–24 season.[5] Crookshank was recalled by Ottawa on December 16 after injuries to forwards Mathieu Joseph and Rourke Chartier.[6] He made his NHL debut in a 6–3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on December 17.[7] In his second game, he scored his first NHL goal against Connor Ingram in a 4–3 loss to the Arizona Coyotes.[8]
