Lucic registered an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Lucic set up Erik Gudbranson's first-period marker. While Lucic has gone 10 games without a goal, he's notched four assists, 10 shots on net and 22 hits in that span. The 33-year-old winger is up to 18 points, 119 hits, 48 shots on net, 40 PIM and an even plus-minus rating in 46 outings. He's still featured on the second power-play unit, but he'd be the most likely player to lose his role in that situation once Tyler Toffoli starts seeing time with the man advantage.

Lucic provided an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Lucic set up Erik Gudbranson's third-period marker Saturday. The 33-year-old Lucic is in the midst of a nine-game goal drought, and he's logged just three assists in that span. He remains in a bottom-six role, and even his time on the second power-play unit has only had a marginal effect on his offense. The winger is up to 17 points, 58 shots on net, 118 hits, 40 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 45 contests overall.

Lucic registered an assist and a game-high seven hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Lucic had a hand in Trevor Lewis' first-period goal, and he was a physical force for the remainder of the game. The 33-year-old Lucic has logged a goal and two helpers in his last six outings. He's up to 16 points, 110 hits, 55 shots on net, 40 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 41 contests. The physicality could give him some low-end fantasy value, but his offense will likely remain inconsistent in a bottom-six role.
