Terrible News Hits the Boston Bruins and Milan Lucic

Lucic Gets Injured After Receiving Slapshot on the Ankle

Lucic has been sidelined since October 21 after sustaining an ankle injury during a game against the Los Angeles Kings.

He attempted to return to the ice the next day but had to leave the game. He has been on the long-term injury reserve since October 27.

While he becomes eligible to come off LTIR when the Bruins face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's fully healed yet.

Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic is experiencing a slower-than-anticipated recovery from his ankle injury, which means his return to the lineup will be delayed.

Montgomery stated after Monday's practice:

The Bruins had to deal with key departures this summer, and we believe they can handle Lucic's absence for one more week.
