The Los Angeles Kings suspended goaltending prospect Patrik Bartosak after domestic-related charges, the team announced Wednesday.
Bartosak has been accused in Manchester, N.H., of 12 domestic-related charges involving his girlfriend, including a felony assault charge alleging he tried to strangle her at an apartment.
Bartosak played for the American Hockey League’s Manchester Monarchs for two seasons. He moved with the Kings’ farm team, now called the Ontario Reign, to California. Bartosak had been in Manchester on an injury rehabilitation assignment and played Sunday night.
The Czech Republic native was drafted in the fifth round by the Kings in 2013.
