Milan Lucic’s push to return to professional hockey received a public show of support from his wife, Brittany, this week. On Tuesday, Brittany Lucic reposted the Springfield Thunderbirds’ announcement graphic on her Instagram stories and added a brief message of encouragement in the caption: “You’re so loved and supported! Excited for this opportunity 🤍.”
The Thunderbirds, the AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, officially announced they had signed the 37-year-old forward to a professional tryout (PTO) contract. This move allows Lucic to continue skating and ramp up game readiness in hopes of earning a full deal within the Blues organization.
Lucic previously signed a PTO with St. Louis over the summer and appeared in four preseason games this year, where he recorded a goal and an assist before a lower-body injury sidelined him. He has not played in the AHL during his pro career, making this a new step as he works toward a potential NHL return.
The Thunderbirds framed the signing as an opportunity for the longtime forward to get reps and contribute to the club while continuing his push for an NHL spot. For Lucic, the move is part of a comeback effort after a difficult past year marked by limited action.
