BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins say Milan Lucic is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team after he was involved in an undisclosed incident Friday night.
The Bruins in a statement released Saturday did not provide any details about the incident other than to say the organization is aware of the situation and "takes these matters very seriously." The team said it would work Lucic's family to provide any support and assistance needed.
Messages sent to Boston Police and Lucic's agent seeking information were not immediately returned.
Lucic, 35, is veteran of over 1,300 NHL games with the Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.
