NHL:
The Boston Bruins announced Saturday that they have signed forward Milan Lucic to a three-year extension through the 2015-16 season. No financial terms were disclosed, but multiple media reports say the deal is worth $18 million, with an average annual value of $6 million.
Lucic, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound native of Vancouver, has played in 359 NHL games, all with the Bruins, scoring 90 goals and adding 122 assists for 212 points, along with 525 penalty minutes and a plus-43 rating. Lucic has helped the Bruins advance to the playoffs in all five of his seasons with the club and has skated in 62 career playoff games, scoring 15 goals and adding 20 assists for 35 points along with 137 penalty minutes.
Hopefully there will be an NHL season soon. We could really use some Sportsbook reviews and sports information. The 24-year-old played 81 games last season, scoring 26 goals and adding a career-high 35 assists for 61 points, one shy of his highest career best. He hit the 20-goal mark for the second straight season and was the first of six NHL players to reach both 20 goals and 100 penalty minutes on the season.
Lucic led the Bruins with 30 goals in 2010-11 and finished with a career-high 62 points, then added five goals and 12 points in the playoffs as the Bruins won their first Stanley Cup since 1972.
Lucic was the Bruins’ second-round choice (No. 50) in the 2006 NHL Draft. He joined the team a year later after three seasons with his hometown Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League.
It’s the third major signing by the Bruins this week — they’ve also locked up Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin with multiyear deals.
