BREAKING: Bruins Fan Favourite Out After Getting Injured

Lucic, known for his gritty and physical style of play, is a fan favourite in Boston, and his absence will surely be felt in tonights game.

The incident that led to Lucic's absence occurred during the pre-game warm-up when a powerful blast from defenseman Derek Forbort struck the veteran forward's ankle. The impact left Lucic visibly in pain, and after being attended to by the medical staff, the decision was made to sit him out for the evening.

While Lucic's presence on the ice is always cherished by Bruins fans, the team is not without options. Patrick Brown, who stepped in for Lucic in the previous game, will once again fill the void in the lineup. Brown, who brings his own set of skills to the game, is no stranger to the Bruins' roster, having shown his worth in previous appearances.
