Veteran forward Milan Lucic signed a professional tryout agreement with the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday following nearly a two-year leave of absence that started in November 2023 after he entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

At the time of his leave, Lucic had two assists over four games in his return with the Boston Bruins.

Over 17 NHL seasons, the 37-year-old has collected 233 goals and 353 assists over 1,177 games for the Bruins (2007-15, 2023), Los Angeles Kings (2015-16), Edmonton Oilers (2016-19) and Calgary Flames (2019-23).

A Stanley Cup champion with the Bruins in 2011, Lucic also has 29 goals with 48 assists in 136 playoff games.
