Milan Lucic makes Christmas wish come true for special-needs Oilers fan

Edmonton Oilers forward Milan Lucic spent last night making the Christmas wish of a young special-needs fan come true.

Before the game, the Oilers and the veteran forward spotted Braxton with an orange and blue stocking sign that read, “All I want for Christmas is to meet Lucic.” After the game, Lucic went and met the young Oilers fanatic on the concourse.

Lucic signed the poster and left a message for the fan, who looked like he was having the time of his life. Lucic even took the time to take a picture with him.

What a class act. Oh — and the Oilers won, 3-2 over the St. Louis Blues. Not a bad night for Lucic and his fan.
