Edmonton Oilers forward Milan Lucic admitted on Sunday that his game was lacking confidence following what was his worst full season offensively since his rookie campaign.

"Since Christmas time, I haven't been playing with a lot of confidence," Lucic said in his exit interview a day after the Oilers finished their season with a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks. "I think I just need to find that again because it's not like I'm old. I turn 30 in two months from now and feel like I still have a lot to give."

Lucic finished the season with 10 goals and 24 assists, his lowest output over a full season since the 27 points he amassed with the Boston Bruins in 2007-2008. The native of Vancouver has five years remaining on a seven-year deal signed in the summer of 2016 that comes with an annual average cap hit of $6 million.

At one point this season, Lucic went 29 games without a goal.

"This year it was like you were almost second-guessing yourself," Lucic said. "I think back to more than a few chances where I've had open nets and I've hit the post, missed the net or the shot was blocked. It feels like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong."

At 6'1 and 235 pounds, it's no secret that Lucic has struggled at times with the pace of the current NHL, something that he admits himself.

"With me, it's about trying to get with the times and adjusting to the way the league's going," Lucic said.
