Cold Streak
Milan Lucic has 1 goal in last 13 games & only 3 total shots on net in last 5 games. Not good enough for former 30-goal scorer.
Lucic has just 4 goals on the season. He is at least still contributing to the PIMs column.

Milan Lucic News
Lucic absent from practice Thursday.
No word on why Lucic is absent other than his wife may be giving birth. Lucic is a great fantasy option in leagues that score hits and PIMS. Even in just point leagues he's not a bad option. Monitor his status as Saturday approaches.
Line Change
New lines. 17-46-67
Lucic moves back onto the Krejci line. The towering power forward scored 20 goals and 41 points in 54 games this season, adding 109 PIM.
Suspension
Lucic suspended one game
Lucic will not play tonight so make sure to adjust your lineup accordingly.
Line Change
TORONTO -- After a thorough review of the play, including a formal disciplinary hearing Monday, Brendan Shanahan, NHL Senior Vice President of Player Safety and Hockey Operations, has decided against any further discipline to Boston forward Milan Lucic for his hit on Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller in Saturday's game at TD Garden.
Lucic will not be suspended, make sure to keep him in your lineup.
Hot Streak
Lucic extends his goal scoring streak to 4 straight games
It's looking like the Bruins are turning around their scoring woes. With Lucic fully healthy, expect 30 goals and over 100 PIM.
“The x-ray’s really messy, actually,” Lucic said. “I know the doctors, when they looked at it, were laughing about it. It actually started about two, three weeks ago, where I started to get full mobility back into my toe. There’s no more pain when I get up on my toes and get going and all that type of stuff. That’s obviously, a positive, and hopefully it stays that way.”
Lucic played 13 games with his broken toe, seemingly unaffected by the injury. While we are glad it has been fully healed, we expected the rugged Vancouver native to gut through the pain regardless.
Lucic said he’s breathing normally after undergoing surgery on his nose. Lucic said he played most of last year while having trouble breathing out of his right nostril. The left wing acknowledged his right big toe, fractured by an errant Tyler Seguin shot in the Eastern Conference final, is still hurting. Lucic did not have surgery on his toe.
The Boston Bruins winger is rumoured to be skating with a foot injury and that could be why the East Vancouver native hasn't been as prominent against the Canucks.
Milan Lucic dressed & ready to go for warmups. We'll see how his right foot looks, but it would have to be amputated to keep him out tonight
As expected, Milan Lucic will be in the lineup tonight. Lucic was not disciplined for his boarding major last night on Jaroslav Spacek.
