Overview
- St. Louis ended Lucic’s NHL professional tryout on Tuesday, and Springfield confirmed he signed an AHL tryout with the Thunderbirds.
- Lucic played four preseason games for the Blues with one goal and one assist before a lower-body injury curtailed his bid for an NHL deal.
- The Blues had been extending his tryout in 10-day increments under the recent CBA while he completed his rehabilitation.
- A Springfield appearance would be his first AHL game and his first competitive action since Oct. 21, 2023.
- His 2023–24 stint with Boston ended after four games with a subsequent entry into the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and later dropped charges, and the Blues could still sign him to an NHL contract if his AHL play warrants it.
