Crozier (abdomen) will be activated off long-term injured reserve and play Wednesday versus the Rangers, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
EDGE Analysis
Crozier hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 1 after having surgery to repair a core muscle injury, so this will allow him to get back up to speed before the playoffs. 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.

The Lightning announced Wednesday that Crozier will miss approximately 10 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a core muscle injury.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Crozier (illness) is set to return to the lineup against the Mammoth on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crozier's potential return is good news for the Lightning's 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.

Crozier scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Crozier's first goal of the season got the Lightning on the board at 19:27 of the second period to break up Sergei Bobrovsky's shutout bid. The 25-year-old Crozier has had his season disrupted by an undisclosed injury, but he's picked up five points in 15 outings so far. 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.

Crozier logged an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Crozier's first point in four games since he returned from missing eight contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old defenseman will continue to play regularly as the Lightning fill holes on the blue line, one of which reopened when Victor Hedman (undisclosed) left this contest early. Crozier has amassed four helpers, 21 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 12 outings while battling his own injury troubles this season.

Crozier (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Rangers, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crozier was battling a nagging undisclosed injury that cost him the last two games, but he appears to have overcome it at this point. His return comes at a good time, as both Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) will be absent for Wednesday's contest. Crozier will fill a top-four role, though he may still have relatively limited minutes.
