Overview

• General manager Doug Armstrong announced Monday that St. Louis signed Lucic to a professional tryout.
• The Blues said in their release that Lucic has been cleared from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance program and reinstated, making him eligible to participate in camp.
• Lucic last appeared in an NHL game in October 2023 with Boston; he was arrested the following month, charges were dropped in February 2024, and he did not play again that season.
• His production has tailed off in recent years, including 19 points in 77 games with Calgary in 2022–23, placing his chances of securing a roster spot as a long shot.
• With little turnover among Blues forwards, he is likely competing for a depth or two-way role, and it is unclear if he would accept an AHL assignment given he has never played in the minors.
