Milan Lucic struggled mightily down the stretch in 2021–22 after a hot start

Milan Lucic had an up-and-down 2021–22 season, to say the least.

Playing in his third season with the Calgary Flames, the 34-year-old winger kicked off the year with an impressive run of five-hole goals before going almost entirely quiet down the stretch (save for a memorable hit on Matt Duchene).

Lucic has one year remaining on his contract, which carries a $5.25 million hit against the Flames’ salary cap. What does the future hold for the veteran forward? Let’s take a look at his story.
