The Boston Bruins announced over the weekend that Lucic will take an “indefinite leave of absence” from the team. “The organization takes these matters very seriously, and we will work with the Lucic family to provide whatever support and assistance they may need,” the Bruins’ written statement said. “I don’t have any additional comment because I haven’t talked to anyone about where this situation stands now than we did after the game yesterday,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said Sunday. Lucic, a 2011 Stanley Cup winner with the Bruins, returned during the offseason, signing a $1 million deal with a possible additional $500,000 in performance-based incentives.

We’re all very, very close, so we’re also very concerned, you know, and upset about them and what they’re going through.” “Brittany (Lucic’s wife) and the kids and Lucic himself,” Marchand said. “Because of that respect for them, you know, that’s going to be the case now.” Marchand said the players did not have any details about the incident. “We don’t really know a lot of what happened, what happened, so it’s very difficult to comment on a lot of it.” Marchand said. “Obviously I’ve known Lucic for a long time. He’s a very good friend and it’s hard to see your teammates and your friends going through things like this and their families.” The 35-year-old Lucic played in four games, catching two assists before suffering what the team described as a lower-body injury after suffering an ankle blow in a game against Los Angeles on Oct. 21. Montgomery said earlier this week that Lucic’s recovery from the injury was slower than planned. “Loach is not going as fast as we expected, so he may be a week later than we expected, but it’s not dramatic,” Montgomery said.
