Boston Bruins forced to scratch Milan Lucic at the very last moment

The Boston Bruins are on the back half of a back-to-back. The Bruins played last night in Los Angeles against the Kings, a game the Bruins won 4-2. Tonight the Bruins travelled down to Anaheim to face off against the Ducks.

In warmups tonight Milan Lucic took to the ice as part of the opening lineup. However, after just one lap around the ice Lucic headed to the locker room and would not return.

Before the game Bruins' coach Jim Montgomery mentioned the some of the Bruins were "nicked up". According to sources in attendance Lucic was only able to put minimal weight on his foot. It appears the injury happened last night when Lucic took a puck off the ankle.

The Bruins will look to go 5-0-0 with another win tonight.
