As you know, an incident involving Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins created significant buzz in the NHL at the beginning of the season. According to the police report, the Vancouver-born forward allegedly attempted to strangle his partner, Brittany Carnegie, thinking she had hidden his cell phone.
Reportedly intoxicated upon police arrival at his home, Lucic completely denied this story, claiming he had only pulled his girlfriend's hair. He reiterated his version of events in court, pleading not guilty to an assault charge.
Having been sidelined from the game since October 21st, Milan Lucic finds himself in a very delicate situation, having had to leave the team's surroundings following this inappropriate incident.
However, there has been a significant development in this case recently. After a Zoom hearing, a trial date has been officially set for February 16th.
Obviously, more details about his professional career will emerge at that time, but it seems likely that his days in the NHL could be behind him.
