Connor Clifton lands a MASSIVE body check at the buzzer

Connor Clifton has perhaps been the most improved player on the backend for the Boston Bruins this season.

Through 52 games, not only does he already have a career-high in goals (4) and assists (11), but it seems like he lands a big hit almost every night. Averaging 18:25 per game, Clifton has also collected a total of 143 hits, which is 22nd in the NHL.

Nothing changed Tuesday night either, as he caught Stars forward Ty Dellandrea with a massive hit in the corner, right as the second period expired. See below:

At 5'11'' and 194 pounds, you could argue that Clifton is one of, if not the best hitter in the league, pound-for-pound at least.
