Lucic, 37, last played in the NHL for the Bruins in 2023. He had a professional tryout with the Blues earlier in 2025, but was injured in preseason and did not make the final roster before the start of the regular season.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said in October that “we’re going [to] rehab him here and get him back health-wise to 100%, and likely reconnect on an in-season [professional tryout] to get him up and running and see where he’s at then.”
