BOSTON — Bruins veteran forward Milan Lucic is charged with assault and battery on a family member and will be arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court, according to reports that were confirmed by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

WCVB-Channel 5 of Boston has the details on its website.

“I don’t have any further comment because I haven’t talked to anyone about where that situation’s at right now more than what we did after the game yesterday,” Bruins Head Coach Jim Montgomery said Sunday, according to the Ch. 5 report.

A 2011 Stanley Cup winner with the Bruins, Lucic returned during the offseason, signing a $1 million deal with $500,000 more possible in performance-based incentives.

He made his debut for the Bruins in 2007 and spent eight seasons in Boston before making his return in the off-season, signing a one year deal that could be worth $1.5 million.

The 6 foot, 3 inch tall, 236 pound Lucic was placed on the Bruins long-term injured list last month.

Bruins captain Brad Marchand said he was aware of what happened with Lucic.

“The biggest thing for us is we care a lot about their family,” Marchand said, speaking before Boston’s game Saturday night vs. Montreal at TD Garden. “We’re a family in here. We’re all very, very close, so we’re also very concerned, you know, and upset for them and what they’re going through.”

“We have a lot of support for Brittany (Lucic’s wife) and the kids and Lucic himself,” Marchand said. “Because of that respect for them, you know, that’s going to be it for now.”

Marchand said players didn’t have any details about the incident.

“We don’t really know a whole lot of what’s happened, what’s gone on, so it’s very hard to comment on much of it.” Marchand said. “Obviously, I’ve known Lucic for a long time. He’s a very good friend and it’s tough to see your teammates and your friends going through stuff like this and their family.”

The 35-year-old Lucic played in four games, getting two assists before suffering what the team described as a lower-body injury after getting hit with a shot off an ankle in a game against Los Angeles on Oct. 21.
