The Bruins said they would have “no additional comment” at this time.

Bruins in 2007 and spent eight seasons in Boston before returning in the offseason. The 6-foot-3, 236-pound Lucic was placed on the Bruins’ long-term injured list last month. Bruins captain Brad Marchand said he was aware of what happened with Lucic. “The most important thing to us is that we care so much about their families,” Marchand said. “We’re a family here. We’re all very, very close, so we’re also very concerned, you know, and upset about them and what they’re going through.” “Brittany (Lucic’s wife) and the kids and Lucic himself,” Marchand said. “Because of that respect for them, you know, that’s going to be the case now.” Marchand said the players did not have any details about the incident. “We don’t really know a lot of what happened, what happened, so it’s very difficult to comment on a lot of it.” Marchand said. “Obviously I’ve known Lucic for a long time. He’s a very good friend and it’s hard to see your teammates and your friends going through things like this and their families.” The 35-year-old Lucic played in four games, catching two assists before suffering what the team described as a lower-body injury after suffering an ankle blow in a game against Los Angeles on Oct. 21. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery said earlier this week that Lucic’s recovery from the injury was going slower than planned. “Loach is not going as fast as we expected, so he may be a week later than we expected, but it’s not dramatic,” Montgomery said.
