After the game, Crookshank said getting the win was important for team morale.
“At the end of the day, I wouldn’t be able to call myself a record holder without my teammates that I’ve played with over the past three years,” said Crookshank. “I’m very thankful for them, and hopefully I can score a few more down the stretch.”
The Senators are back in action on Saturday night, facing the Marlies again on the road.
