Bruins' Milan Lucic: Won't return to team
Lucic (ankle) will remain on an indefinite leave of absence from the Bruins for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Lucic was facing domestic assault charges in a case that was expected to go to trial Friday before the charges were dropped by the prosecutor's office due to a lack of evidence, leading to speculation regarding his future with the team. Lucic is currently signed by the Bruins through the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Bruins' Milan Lucic: Recovery slow going
Lucic (ankle) is not recovering as quickly as expected. Coach Jim Montgomery told reporters Monday, "Looch is not going as quick as we expected, so he's maybe a week behind where we expected, but it's not dramatic."
Lucic has already missed 10 games while on long-term injured reserve but won't be back in the short term based on this latest news. In his four games this season, the veteran winger managed two assists but put just one shot on goal while averaging 11:58 of ice time per game. Until Lucic is cleared to return, Oskar Steen and Jakub Lauko figure to serve in fourth-line roles.

Bruins' Milan Lucic: Designated for injured reserve
Lucic (ankle) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.
Lucic's IR designation shouldn't come as a surprise after news broke that he would be out for a couple of weeks. At this point, given he has already missed three games, the winger's placement on injured reserve shouldn't impact his timeline to return. In the meantime, Jesper Boqvist should see extra minutes in a bottom-six role.

Bruins' Milan Lucic: Signs with Boston
Lucic signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Boston on Saturday, Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.
Lucic returns home to his first NHL team after eight seasons away from the Bruins. He's far from the player he was when he spent the first seven years of his NHL career with Boston, but Lucic will still provide toughness as a fourth-line forward. Lucic had seven goals, 12 assists, 43 PIM and 168 hits in 77 games with Calgary last season.

Flames' Milan Lucic: Scores Thursday
Lucic tallied a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Vegas.
Lucic got Calgary on the scoresheet late in the first period, burying a feed from Walker Duehr on an odd-man rush. The goal is Lucic's first since Feb. 22. The 34-year-old veteran is up to six goals and 17 points through 68 games this season. While Lucic still provides a physical presence (150 hits), he shouldn't be counted on to provide much offense while playing on the Flames' fourth line.

Flames' Milan Lucic: Helpers in back-to-back games
Lucic earned an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
