Lucas' father, Stefan Elvenes, was drafted in the fourth round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, but never played in North America.[1]

Playing career

On June 16, 2018, Elvenes was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights.[2] After attending the Golden Knights 2018 training camp, Elvenes was returned on loan to continue his development with Rögle BK of the SHL for the duration of the 2018–19 season on September 19, 2018.[3]

Elvenes while on loan with Rögle BK, established new career bests with 17 assists and 20 points through 42 regular season games. After an early post-season exit, Elvenes was re-assigned by the Golden Knights to join AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, in the midst of their playoff run.
