Trouble started in November 2023 when Lucic got arrested after arguments at home. The charges were dropped later, his wife called 911 during a alleged fight between the two, leading to the Boston Bruins making Lucic take a break from playing. Lucic plead not guilty.
The NHL also takes these situations seriously, players usually get suspended while they check things out. It's not clear if Lucic will play again, his wife wants custody of their kids and financial support.
