Crozier hit on Slafkovsky could prove to be series-changer for Lightning

In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Sunday, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Crozier delivered a crushing body check on Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky at 17:48 of the second period, which Crozier himself called the best hit of his career. The Lightning were trailing 2-0 at the time and down 2-1 in the series, but the hit sparked a rally that led to a 3-2 Tampa Bay victory. The win prevented the Lightning from falling into a 3-1 series deficit against the Canadiens.
