Milan Lucic and the Boston Bruins are facing a major setback as Lucic is going to take longer than expected to heal up.
Lucic Injures Ankle
Last month Milan Lucic and the Bruins faced a major setback as Lucic took a slapshot to the ankle which left him injured. He has been on the IR since the initial incident.
Now a few weeks later, fans are expecting to see Lucic soon but that does not seem like it will be the case.
Lucic Taking Longer To Recover Than Expected
Recently head coach Jim Montgomery spoke on Lucic's recovery process and shared some awful news about how he is recovering.
Coach Montgomery on Milan Lucic's recovery from injury: «Looch is not going as quick as we expected, so he's maybe a week behind where we expected, but it's not dramatic.»
While the Bruins will be without Lucic for a bit longer than expected, they have been doing just fine without him as they're leading the NHL in points and are looking to stay on top of the league.
