Milan Lucic scored in Monday's Game 7 win for the Bruins, and now he's ready to continue the New York-Boston rivalry.

Lucic's goal came over nine minutes after Horton's in the third period, with the Bruins' playoff lives still on life support. The power forward also had a helper. "It looks like it's going to be the Rangers [in the second round],'' Lucic said. "Boston-New York, Red Sox-Yankees, Giants-Patriots, Knicks-Celtics this year, and now we have this. So two cities that there's a lot hatred between in sports, and from a fan's perspective and a player's perspective, it's something to look forward to."

Milan Lucic had a goal and an assist as the Boston Bruins scored three times in the final 11 minutes of the third period to force overtime in Monday's 5-4 Game 7 win.

Lucic picked up the primary assist on Nathan Horton's goal, which made it 4-2 at 9:08, and then scored a rebound goal at 18:38 that cut Toronto's lead to 4-3. Lucic has been one of the better offensive players for the Bruins in the series but had been held off the scoresheet in Game 5 and 6 as the Maple Leafs appeared poised to rally from a 3-1 series deficit.

Milan Lucic scored the only Boston goal in a 2-1 loss to Toronto Sunday night.

Lucic broke James Reimer's shutout in the final minute of regulation, but it wasn't enough as the Bruins couldn't get any other pucks behind the Leafs netminder. Jaromir Jagr and Zdeno Chara drew assists on the lone marker.

Milan Lucic required nine stitches on his right eyebrow after he was hit in the face by the puck in Game 4.

A Lucic shot also made direct contact with the forehead of Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Fraser in the third period Wednesday night. "Thankfully it hit me on the eyebrow and it wasn't lower," Lucic said. "I kind felt like I got kicked in the head when the puck hit me. Unfortunately, it went the other way when the puck hit Fraser in the head. I saw him get escorted out of the arena and I saw that it wasn't an eye injury for him. That's good to see, that he didn't receive an eye injury and he was up and walking on his own." Lucic doesn't have a goal yet in the series, but after four games he has collected six assists and 15 hits.

Milan Lucic has impressed Bruins coach Claude Julien in the first round.

"He's been arguably our best forward," Julien said. "It's obvious he's feeling better about himself now than he did all year." Lucic has six assists in three games in the playoffs. He struggled during the regular season by his high standards and even ended up serving as a healthy scratch late in the campaign. That stint in the press box seems to have done him some good.

Milan Lucic contributed two assists as Boston rolled to a 4-1 victory over Toronto in Game 1 Wednesday night.

His linemates David Krecji (one goal, two assists) and Nathan Horton (one goal) had strong efforts as well to help the Bruins take a 1-0 lead in the series. The trio have had their issues during the regular season, but they looked great in the first game of the playoffs.

Milan Lucic concluded the regular season with an assist in Boston's loss to Ottawa on Sunday night.

He also had one shot, five penalty minutes and three hits during his 17 minutes of ice time. It's been a tough year offensively for the Bruins' hulking forward, but he feels like he's turning it around lately. "I felt really good with the puck. I felt I made a lot of good plays," Lucic said. "I felt like I was moving my feet. That's been the main thing I've been focusing on these last couple of games. I want to keep building and building so it's where it needs to be [this] week." He ended up with seven goals and 20 assists in 47 games this campaign, while contributing 75 PIMs and 139 hits as well.

The Boston Bruins coughed up a two-goal lead in the third period on Saturday.

They now have a 15-4-4 record when leading after 40 minutes. That might sound impressive, but it's actually one of the worst records in the league. "Hopefully [Saturday] is the last time we have to learn this lesson about giving up the lead going into the third period," said Milan Lucic. "But there is a lot to look forward to tomorrow. We control our own destiny to fight for first in the division." Boston can claim the Northeast Division with a win on Sunday.

Milan Lucic notched a goal and had an assist in the Bruins' 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals on Saturday night.

The forward has been in the doghouse recently, but an engaged and physical Lucic is a handful to contain and he has the ability to be a pivotal player in the playoffs. Andrew Ference scored the other goal for the Bruins.
Apr 27 - 11:09 PM

For one night at least, the old Milan Lucic was back.

Lucic was physical (four hits), engaged (fighting major) and kept his feet moving throughout the game. The Bruins have lacked his nastiness and confidence for parts of this season. "I’ve got to keep my focus,’’ said Lucic. "I know when I play like that, I’m physical and moving my feet, everything else tends to take care of itself. I can’t lose touch of what made my game successful tonight. You keep that up, eventually you are going to get rewarded for it.’’
Apr 26 - 8:48 AM

Milan Lucic is motivated to end the regular season on a high note after being a healthy scratch in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh.

"It's a different perspective sitting up there and getting to watch the game, he said. "I think it just kind of builds that hunger back in you that you want to make sure it never happens again. I'll make sure it never happens again." Lucic got back into active duty in Sunday's win over Florida, where he posted three shots and five hits during his 12:54 of ice time. Offense has been an issue for Lucic all year, with just six goals and 24 points in 42 games, but he's still been a decent contributor when it comes to hits (127) and penalty minutes (65).
Apr 23 - 7:05 AM

Milan Lucic is a healthy scratch on Saturday.

Lucic was a candidate to be sent to the press box on Friday and it looks like the game's postponement didn't alter that plan. Lucic's struggles led to him logging just 10:53 minutes of playing time on Wednesday. Maybe being scratched will spark him before the playoffs start.
Apr 20 - 1:14 PM

There is no word as of yet whether Milan Lucic will be a healthy scratch for Saturday afternoon's game against the Penguins.

Before the contest that was originally scheduled for Friday night was postponed, Boston coach Claude Julien was contemplating such a move. Lucic has been struggling all season and seems to have lost confidence in his game. Stay tuned for further updates regarding his availability.
