ST. LOUIS — Content Warning: This story contains graphic imagery and descriptions. Reader discretion is advised The St. Louis Blues are bringing in 37-year-old forward Milan Lucic, who last played in 2023, for a tryout. Lucic was a member of the Boston Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup championship team who also played for the Kings, Oilers and Flames before returning to the Bruins in 2023. He had two assists in four games that year before he took a puck off his ankle and went on long-term injured reserve. Three weeks later, police were called to Lucic's home by his wife, who told them he pulled her hair and tried to choke her. He was arrested on suspicion of assault and battery on a family member, but the charges were dropped when his wife declined to testify in court. Lucic entered the league's Player Assistance Program. The Blues say he has completed the program and has been reinstated by the NHL. Lucic has 233 goals, 353 assists and 1,301 penalty minutes in 17 NHL seasons. He had a career-high 32 goals with 30 assists in 2010-11 and assisted on the overtime winner in Game 7 of the first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens to help the Bruins win their most recent Stanley Cup title.

New York Giants signing RB Jonathan Ward
With injury issues plaguing them at the position, the New York Giants hosted several free agent running backs for a tryout in East Rutherford on Monday. Following those workouts, the Giants settled on signing Jonathan Ward. The 27-year-old Ward signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan in 2020. He remained with the team for two-plus seasons before landing on injured reserve (IR) in 2022 and later being released. The New York Jets briefly signed Ward, who then finished the season and spent the subsequent year with the Tennessee Titans. The 6-foot, 202-pound Ward spent last season as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was teammates with current Giants quarterback Russell Wilson. In 46 career games, Ward has rushed for 91 yards on 22 carries (4.1 ypc), and hauled in six receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown. He's also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards and recorded 18 special teams tackles. A corresponding roster move has not been announced.
