Milan Lucic's NHL career faces devastating end amidst domestic violence arrest
Milan Lucic's NHL career may be coming to an end following his arrest last season.
On November 9, 2023, it was reported that Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic was arrested on domestic violence charges, leading the Bruins to place him on indefinite leave. Lucic has not played in the NHL since the incident.
#NHLBruins Milan Lucic arrested early Saturday morning following a domestic incident, Bruins place Lucic on indefinite leave.
Confirmed by various media outlets
Though Lucic was scheduled for a court appearance, the charges were dropped after his wife reportedly did not cooperate with the police investigation. Since the incident, Lucic's wife Brittany has sought both a protection order and a divorce.
Should the court disagree with my request, then in the alternative I request that the court allow only professionally monitored visitation with Soberlink testing to be performed within one hour before and one hour after visitation. I am also requesting that the Court Order all communications between the Parties to be through.
Given these developments, it appears no team is interested in signing Lucic, which may signal the end of his NHL career.
There has been no interest in him this summer and he hasn't been connected to anyone via rumors. At 36, it's fair to say it's game over.
If Lucic does not return to the NHL, he will finish his career with 233 goals and 353 assists in 1,177 games. As a true power forward, Lucic's unique playing style may not be seen again for a long time.
