Boston Bruins Officially Replace Milan Lucic
With the Boston Bruins dealing with Milan Lucic's situation, they have now found their replacement for him in the lineup.
Frederic Emerging as Potential Replacement for Lucic
With Milan Lucic out for the foreseeable future, and potentially forever, the Boston Bruins are undoubtedly looking for his replacement. The Bruins have now won their last two games, and it looks like they are finding their grove again with Lucic out of the lineup.
One player taking on the role previously held by Lucic is Trent Frederic, who has taken it upon himself to stick up for his teammates during key moments.
Brad Marchand has noted that the Bruins are finding their way again as a team that is difficult to play against, and they showed that again by beating the Toronto Maple Leafs last night in overtime, highlighted by a goal by Frederic.
Bruins Moving on From Lucic As they Continue Successful Season
As Trent Frederic continues to develop into a hard-nosed but skilled player, it makes it easier for the Bruins to move on and continue their successful regular season in Lucic's absence.
More details are still to come regarding Lucic's fate with the Bruins, and if he will be officially terminated prior to his legal proceedings.
