Most of that has taken a step back in recent games.

It's possible that the early Lucic we saw as simply what he has left in the tank after a summer of rest and the excitement/anxiety of joining a new team. The way he's playing now where he can't complete a simple pass to save his life is exactly the way he looked for the Oilers last season. He's really not that important to the overall success of the team that you would have him in the lineup if he was hurting to the point where he can't even throw a punch or grab a guy. If he's hurt that much I would hope the coach is smart enough to rest him in the press box.
