Former Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic is attempting an NHL comeback.

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed Lucic to a professional tryout. 

Lucic last played at the NHL level during the 2023-24 season with the Bruins. In four games with the Bruins that campaign, he posted two assists, 12 hits, and a minus-1 rating. His return to Boston came to an end after he took an indefinite leave of absence in November that season, following being arrested for an alleged domestic incident with his wife. However, the charges would later be dropped. 

According to the Blues' announcement, Lucic has completed the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and has been reinstated by the league.

In 570 games over nine seasons and two stints with the Bruins, Lucic recorded 139 goals, 205 assists, 344 points, 774 penalty minutes, 1,592 hits, and a plus-93 rating. He was selected by the Bruins with the 50th overall pick of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He was also a part of their 2011 Stanley Cup championship squad.
