Boston Bruins winger Milan Lucic will enter the NHL/NHLPA joint Player Assistance Program after his arrest on Saturday morning. Boston placed Lucic on indefinite leave after the incident, and he will continue to be away from the team in the meantime. Lucic has two points in four games with the Bruins this season, but obviously that takes a backseat to the real-life implications of this situation. We wish his family the best during these tough times.
Boston Bruins left wing Milan Lucic (ankle) will take an indefinite leave of absence from the team after being involved in an undisclosed incident Friday night. The veteran winger was allegedly arrested following a domestic incident. Lucic has already been unavailable for the team for four weeks after injuring his ankle. He has played in four games this season, posting two assists. The 35-year-old returned to Boston, where he won the Stanley Cup in 2011, this offseason on a one-year, $1 million deal.
Boston Bruins left wing Milan Lucic (ankle) will be out of commission for a couple of weeks, according to head coach Jim Montgomery. The veteran forward will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Anaheim, and it looks like he will then be unavailable for at least six more games. Lucic has totaled two assists in four games with one shot on goal and eight hits. The team will definitely miss his physical presence, although Boston has kept winning without Lucic and will head out for a seventh straight victory on Thursday. The team's frontline has also lost Jakub Lauko (face), who is expected to miss at least one week.
Boston Bruins left wing Milan Lucic (ankle) is expected to miss a second consecutive game Tuesday against the Blackhawks. The veteran sustained an ankle injury Saturday against Los Angeles and didn't play Sunday versus Anaheim after leaving the pregame warmups. Lucic also left Tuesday's morning skate early. With four games played, the 35-year-old has contributed two assists with one shot on goal and eight hits. He'll get his next chance to return on Thursday when Boston is scheduled to have a rematch with the Ducks.
Milan Lucic Scores Only Calgary Goal In Regulation
Calgary Flames left-winger Milan Lucic opened the scoring in Calgary on Monday night versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. Oliver Kylington and Chris Tanev set up the Lucic tally midway into the second period. That gave Lucic six goals in 22 games. With the winger playing just 12 minutes a night, the forward's scoring chances are limited. He does have two goals in his last three games though. Lucic played 10:53 on Monday night with just the one shot on goal. The forward has a bit of value in leagues that count hits still at least.
Calgary Flames left wing Milan Lucic produced the team's only marker in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Ottawa, reaching five goals and eight points for the year. Dillon Dube and Christopher Tanev had the assists on the play. Lucic finished things off with three shots and three hits. The 32-year-old bruiser has always had a good nose for goals and he's having a bit of a renaissance this season after combining for only 14 goals and 40 points across the past two campaigns. Ottawa has improved lately, but they still own a league-worst 3.86 goals-against average, and Lucic and the Flames will get to see them again in four of their next five games.
