Lucic has played with Leon Draisaitl, with whom he's shown some chemistry with as well.
When it comes to comparing the two hulking yet offensively-gifted wingers and what they provide on the top line, McLellan had this to say:
"They're both big bodies, they both know where the net is, both of them have had success producing points," said McLellan. "Sometimes, it's just a matter of changing things up and there's not a lot of reading and reacting that's different between the two.
"I think Patty has a little more puck luck around the blue paint than Milan did. The great thing about it is we feel we have two guys that can go in that position. They're interchangeable. For the most part, Milan has found chemistry with Leon as well. They didn't have the greatest game in Pittsburgh but they'll be the first to tell you that. But over and above that, they've played pretty well together."
