Ducks' Cruz Lucius: Secures two-year deal
Lucius agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Anaheim on Thursday.
Lucius was originally selected by the Hurricanes in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Draft but has seen his rights moved twice, including to the Penguins as part of the Jake Guentzel deal. At Arizona State this past season, the 22-year-old winger notched 15 goals and 31 assists in 36 contests. He figures to spend time developing in the minors before getting a true shot at an NHL gig.

Ducks' Cruz Lucius: Dealt Wednesday
Lucius has been acquired by Anaheim from Pittsburgh on Wednesday in exchange for future considerations.
Lucius had 15 goals and 46 points in 36 outings with Arizona State University as a senior in 2025-26. Carolina originally selected the 22-year-old with the No. 124 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. He was then dealt to Pittsburgh on March 7, 2024, as part of the package to acquire Jake Guentzel. The Ducks are getting Lucius' negotiating rights, but he hasn't signed an entry-level contract yet.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Five-point burst in win
Lucius scored a goal and added four assists in Arizona State University's 6-3 win over the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Saturday.
Lucius had seven points over two games against Omaha this weekend, which could put him in contention for weekly honors. He's up to 15 goals and 45 points in 34 appearances. Lucius had just 10 points in 19 outings for ASU last year, so it's been a positive to see him bounce back in his senior season of NCAA play.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Nets both goals in loss
Lucius scored twice in Arizona State University's 4-2 loss to the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Friday.
Lucius is up to 14 goals and 40 points in 33 appearances this season. It's the first time he's reached the 40-point mark in the NCAA. Lucius will likely face a decision about his future soon due to ASU's rough campaign -- this is his senior season, and he could sign with the Penguins after the Sun Devils' schedule ends.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Racks up three helpers for ASU
Lucius recorded three assists in Arizona State University's 6-5 overtime win over Colorado College on Friday.
Lucius leads the Sun Devils with 38 points (12 goals, 26 assists) over 27 outings this season. He's added 103 shots on net. The Penguins prospect has a career year in the NCAA as a senior already with plenty of time to add to his totals -- a 50-point campaign isn't out of the question.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Four-point burst in win
Lucius scored a goal and added three assists in Arizona State University's 7-2 win over the University of Alaska-Anchorage on Friday.
Lucius continues to impress in his senior year of NCAA hockey. He's up to 12 goals (one shy of his career high) and 30 points in just 21 appearances so far. This is likely to be his most productive campaign, and the Penguins prospect seems likely to put pen to paper when ASU's season is over.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Another two points for ASU
Lucius scored a goal and added an assist in Arizona State University's 6-3 win over the University of Minnesota-Duluth on Saturday.
Lucius has been steady this year for the Sun Devils and is up to 22 points through 18 contests. The Penguins prospect is also at a plus-2 rating on the year after going plus-5 in ASU's big win Saturday. He has shown his skills in three of four NCAA campaigns, which bodes well for him turning pro after this season.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Picks up two points
Lucius scored a goal and added an assist in Arizona State University's 3-2 win over Ohio State University on Friday.
Lucius has taken a step forward this year with 10 goals and eight helpers over 15 appearances. He had just 10 points in 19 outings last year with the Sun Devils, though he posted 34-point campaigns in each of his first two NCAA seasons with the University of Wisconsin. The senior winger is a Penguins prospect, and his steady offense throughout his collegiate career should lead to an entry-level deal in the spring.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Keeps scoring in loss
Lucius scored twice on three shots in Arizona State University's 5-2 loss to Augustana University on Saturday.
Lucius had three points on the Sun Devils' four goals this weekend, but they were swept in the two-game set by Augustana. The 21-year-old Penguins prospect has had a nose for the net early in 2025-26, racking up six goals and a helper over six games in his senior year of college. If he keeps this up, he could be part of Pittsburgh's youth movement with an NHL audition in the spring.

Penguins' Cruz Lucius: Pots hat trick
Lucius scored three goals on nine shots in Arizona State University's 5-2 win over Alaska-Fairbanks on Saturday.
This was the Final of the Ice Breaker Tournament hosted by Arizona State, and the hosts were able to get the win. Lucius was able to make an impact in the final after being held off the scoresheet versus Notre Dame on Friday. The 21-year-old winger is in his senior year of NCAA hockey and his second campaign with Arizona State after transferring from the University of Wisconsin. He struggled to the tune of 10 points in 19 appearances in 2024-25, but he's already earned four goals in as many games to begin 2025-26.
