St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today the Blues have signed forward Milan Lucic to a professional tryout. Lucic, 37, last appeared with the Boston Bruins in 2023-24,

Veteran forward Milan Lucic signed a professional tryout agreement with the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday following nearly a two-year leave of absence that started in November 2023 after he entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

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.
