Lucic last played in 2023 as a member of the Bruins — his second stint with the team — and amassed two assists. His return to Boston lasted just four games after he was arrested in November 2023 for pulling his wife’s hair and trying to choke her, according to a police report.

Lucic, 37, has not played since he took an indefinite leave of absence from the Bruins in 2023 after he faced a charge of assault and battery against a family member. The charges were later dropped.

The Blues say Milan Lucic completed the league’s Player Assistance Program and has been reinstated by the NHL.
