Milan Lucic looked as though he didn’t want the night to end, taking the ice after both teams left to thank the fans who showered him with cheers most of the game.
It was a banner night for his teammates, too.
Lucic scored in his return to Boston, Drew Doughty had a power-play goal for his 300th career point and the Los Angeles Kings had nine goal scorers in a 9-2 rout of the Bruins on Tuesday.
“I didn’t have it planned. A couple of teammates told me to go out and do it,” Lucic said of his postgame skate.
