Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced today that Bruins forward Milan Lucic had successful surgery to repair his broken right index finger. Lucic will be out for 4-6 weeks.
With Lucic being out for that long this is bad news. The Bruins got to step up and play much better than what they've been showing, except for the game vs the Stars. Hopefully Craig Weller or someone can step in and provide the physical presence that Lucic usually does. It's going to be a big hole to fill.
Lucic's surgery was performed by Dr. Matthew Leibman at Massachusetts General Hospital on Sunday, October 18. Lucic sustained the injury on Friday, October 16 during the team's game against the Dallas Stars.
The 21-year-old has skated in six games this season with 0-3=3 totals. He was placed on Long Term Injured Reserve on Sunday, October 18, retroactive to October 16.
