Now with the case behind him, it appears Lucic is preparing to revive his career with the Bruins by meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to be reinstated into the NHL.
This news will bode well for the Bruins as they continue to hold first place in the Atlantic division with the Florida Panthers directly in their sights. Despite his age and declining play, his experience and physical play will help the Bruins on their bottom 6. He also has a low-cost factor as he only has a $1 million cap yet for this season.
It's expected that this news will continue to change as the situation remains fluid and fans will need to see how Lucic will fare being out of the game this long.
The Bruins will be at home for their next game when the Los Angeles Kings come to town and will play on Saturday February 17th at 12:30 PM.
