BOSTON (AP) — Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic has been released on personal recognizance bail after pleading not guilty to assaulting his wife. Police said Lucic appeared intoxicated when his wife called officers to their apartment Saturday. He was charged with assault and battery on a family member. He did not speak at his arraignment Tuesday, when a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. Lucic has not played since Oct. 21 because of injury. The Bruins said Saturday that Lucic was taking an indefinite leave of absence. His agent has not responded to messages seeking comment.
