Thanks to Lucic, he tied the game with less than two minutes remaining in regulation. The Oilers didn’t have to panic and took the game to overtime, where they came out victorious.
The 28-year-old is putting up decent numbers, scoring 19 goals and 44 points in 78 games this season. He has proven his worth as a solid top-six forward who brings physicality and prowess to the game. And on the man advantage, he showed excellent persistence.
Lucic made sure to make himself prominent and get his big body in front of the net. His 6-foot-3, 236-pound frame was vital in screening John Gibson, who was a brick wall for the Ducks.
