ST LOUIS – The St. Louis Blues have signed forward Milan Lucic to a professional tryout, the club announced Tuesday.

Lucic last played in the NHL during the 2023-24 season with the Boston Bruins, the team with which he spent the first eight seasons of his 17-year career. He had two assists in four games.

The 37-year-old took an indefinite leave of absence from the team in Nov. 2023 and later entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

Lucic has since completed the program and been reinstated by the NHL.

The Vancouver native has 586 points (233 goals, 353 assists) in 1,177 career regular-season games, including time with the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.

The six-foot-three, 236-pound Lucic also has 77 points (29 goals, 48 assists) in 136 career playoff games, having also won a Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011. He was a second-round pick (50th overall) in the 2006 NHL draft by the Bruins.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2025.
