Bruins' Lucic says wrist is progressing well following offseason surgery

It's been a long road to recovery for Boston Bruins winger Milan Lucic, who underwent surgery after jamming his left wrist during the playoffs.

Lucic has progressed well since his wrist joint was repaired in May, but says the injury may have set him back because it restricted his offseason workout routine.

"... A lot as far as upper body goes. (The injury) impacted it everywhere," Lucic said, per NHL.com. "I haven't been able to do a pushup until a week ago just because of it being right there on the joint. But still that's something you've got to work at with rehab and stuff like that.

"Like I said, it's gotten better over the last week. And you still have some time here before the season starts. So as camp goes along, you know you want to get your legs and everything underneath you. But you still have time to build your strength up until the season starts."

Even though the wrist isn't completely healed, Lucic expects to be a participant in the team's physicals and off-ice testing Thursday during training camp.
