2025 Fantasy Outlook
Crozier doesn't have an immediately obvious path to the NHL in 2025-26, but he should be one of the first call-ups when injuries strike. He made five regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay last season, failing to record a point while adding eight shots on net, 11 hits and six blocked shots. He also posted 34 points in 52 regular-season outings for AHL Syracuse. Crozier re-signed for three years in June, but he's on a two-way contract this season, so he'll be looking to make a good impression whenever he gets the chance with the Lightning. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Lightning in June of 2025.
Won't play in next three games

Undisclosed
October 21, 2025
Head coach Jon Cooper relayed Tuesday that he doesn't expect Crozier (undisclosed) to be available for any of the team's next three home games, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Crozier was placed on injured reserve Friday, as he was injured against the Capitals on Oct. 14. The right-shot defenseman was off to a good start in 2025-26, recording three helpers, six hits and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. With Cooper's update in mind, Crozier shouldn't be expected to suit up until at least Oct. 28 in Nashville.
