The 25-year-old defenseman has a goal, 10 points, 40 PIM, 38 hits and 31 blocks in 34 outings in 2025-26. Crozier will likely serve on the Lightning's third pairing.

Moves to IR Crozier (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Crozier is poised to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 regular season after he underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury. He had one goal, nine assists, 44 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 38 hits across 34 NHL appearances this campaign.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss extended time The Lightning announced Wednesday that Crozier will miss approximately 10 week after undergoing surgery to repair a core muscle injury.

Impact Crozier made 34 appearances for the Lightning prior to the Olympic break, recording a goal, nine assists, 40 PIM, 38 hits and 31 blocked shots while averaging 16:00 of ice time. His return timetable signals that he'll likely be forced to miss at least the remainder of the regular season, and he'll likely also be sidelined for the start of the postseason. Whether he'll be available if the Lightning make a run in the playoffs remains to be seen.

Expected back Monday Crozier (illness) is set to return to the lineup against the Mammoth on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Crozier's potential return is good news for the Bolts' blue line, which has been very banged up, including Erik Cernak (undisclosed), who was deemed a game-time call for the clash with Utah. With Crozier in action, Simon Lundmark could be relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Saturday Crozier (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Blue Jackets.

Impact Crozier had played in 23 straight games since returning from an undisclosed injury, but that streak will end Saturday. He has gone seven contests without a point. Simon Lundmark will draw in on the third pairing to make his NHL debut, while Crozier will try to be healthy in time for Monday's game versus the Mammoth.

He's added 25 shots on net, 15 hits, 11 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a plus-3 rating, offering a little grit in a bottom-four role.
