On Saturday, various Boston media outlets reported that Bruins forward Milan Lucic had been arrested earlier Saturday.
The reason for the arrest, according to WCVB, was “a domestic incident.”
The Bruins released a statement Saturday morning confirming that they were aware of the situation:
“The Boston Bruins are aware of an incident involving Milan Lucic Friday evening. Milan is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team. The organization takes these matters very seriously, and will work with the Lucic family to provide any support and assistance they may need.
