In the late third period, with the Bruins trailing 3-0, Lucic, renowned for his physical style of play, delivered a forceful two-handed shove to a Sabres defenseman after the whistle.
It was a clear effort to inject energy into the struggling Bruins. Shortly thereafter, Boston found the back of the net, narrowing the score to 3-1.
While the Bruins ultimately fell 4-1, with Buffalo sealing the game with an empty-net goal, Lucic's impactful play serves as a reminder of why he's back with the team. His physicality and momentum-shifting abilities are invaluable to Boston.
