ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues are
bringing in 37-year-old forward Milan Lucic, who last played in
2023, for a tryout.
Lucic was a member of the Boston Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup
championship team who also played for the Kings, Oilers and
Flames before returning to the Bruins in 2023. He had two
assists in four games that year before he took a puck off his
ankle and went on long-term injured reserve.
Three weeks later, police were called to Lucic’s home by his
wife, who told them he pulled her hair and tried to choke her.
He was arrested on suspicion of assault and battery on a family
member, but the charges were dropped when his wife declined to
testify in court.
Lucic entered the league’s Player Assistance Program. The Blues
say he has completed the program and has been reinstated by the
NHL.
Lucic has 233 goals, 353 assists and 1,301 penalty minutes in 17
NHL seasons. He had a career-high 32 goals with 30 assists in
2010-11 and assisted on the overtime winner in Game 7 of the
first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens to help the
Bruins win their most recent Stanley Cup title.
