Milan Lucic's wife stirs NHL return buzz despite lingering 2023 domestic violence scandal
Brittany Lucic used an Instagram Q&A to offer a rare, personal update about her husband Milan Lucic's recovery and the possibility of him returning to the
NHL
— a brief but loaded exchange that rewrites the public narrative around a case that drew intense media scrutiny.
Her comments didn't settle questions about a comeback, but they did spotlight accountability, rehabilitation and how families navigate high-profile incidents behind closed doors.
Milan Lucic's wife
Brittany
hints at his
NHL return
When a follower asked if Milan planned to return to pro hockey, Brittany posted a swim-trunk photo and wrote: 'I'm not sure but he looks great!' That clipped answer didn't confirm a roster plan — but it did suggest Lucic is physically well and perhaps rebuilding his life away from the headlines.
For teams, agents and fans tracking roster depth, ambiguous updates like this are often the first public signals of someone moving through recovery toward potential availability.
Across the Q&A, Brittany framed their progress as deliberately staged: 'Separate! And then together! It's a powerful journey I will share more about my views/path eventually! 🤍' She also reflected on self-accountability: 'Isn't it so easy to blame others, have no accountability, identify the role you played in your life, or even have to self reflect … spooky stuff going to those places.'

These words matter because they shift the frame from legal outcomes to personal growth — a narrative teams and leagues increasingly weigh when considering an athlete's return to play.
How the legal and team context still shapes any potential return
Lucic was arrested in November 2023 after an alleged domestic incident; prosecutors later dropped charges when Brittany invoked marital privilege, and Lucic entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and took an indefinite leave.
Those facts remain central to how franchises, sponsors and the public will evaluate any comeback path — medical clearance and PR rehabilitation alone rarely settle the broader reputational calculus.
What to watch next and why fans should pay attention
This Instagram exchange isn't a roster update so much as a status report on a family working through trauma under public view. If Lucic aims to play again, expect a slow, documented return: formal medical updates, team statements, and possibly conditions tied to assistance-program milestones.
Brittany's candor, and her 'I'm not sure but he looks great!', keeps the conversation alive, but the final call will hinge on health, league protocols and how stakeholders assess accountability and readiness.

Cong demands explanation on alleged financial transactions involving Kerala CPM leaders
Kochi: CPM brass must clarify its stance as the Chennai businessman's complaint submitted to the party general secretary suggests that illegal transactions were made with the knowledge of senior leaders, Opposition leader V D Satheesan has said. "The Chennai businessman's letter reveals suspicious financial transactions. It claims that several people, including well-known CPM functionaries in Kerala and a family member of a prominent CPM functionary, are involved in these financial dealings. The letter, reportedly submitted to the CPM politburo in 2021, raises questions about why the party kept it under wraps until now. As the allegations of financial transactions are related to govt projects, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan also needs to explain his position," Satheesan told reporters in Kochi. The most significant allegation in the letter is that a company named Kingdom Security Services was set up in Chennai to channel crores of rupees into the accounts of CPM functionaries in Kerala. Large sums, including funds for a project in Kerala, were transferred through bank accounts. It is also alleged that a close relative of the party secretary maintains continuous contact and conducts business with the accused individual. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The accused is known to be close to CPM functionaries.
