Milan Lucic: Returning from suspension Wednesday

Lucic has served his one-game suspension for his punch on Arizona's Kevin Connauton and will return to the lineup Wednesday.

Analysis:

Now that his suspension is over, Lucic will slot back in against the Avalanche as a top-six forward. LA will be happy to have the big-bodied forward back in the lineup, as he has played well of late, tallying six points (one goal, five assists) in the seven games prior to his suspension.
