QUINCY, Mass. - A shoplifting charge against former NHL player Chris Nilan has been dismissed.
Braintree police say Nilan and another man were arrested Wednesday at a mall after Lord & Taylor security guards accused Nilan of walking out with a bathing suit under his clothes.
Police say the 51-year-old Nilan denied stealing and scuffled with the guards.
The case was dismissed Thursday after Nilan agreed to stay out of the store and paid $100 court costs.
Nilan, whose nickname was "Knuckles," had more than 3,000 penalty minutes in a 13-year career with Montreal, the New York Rangers and Boston.

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
