Kings' Voynov gets 90 days in jail after pleading no contest to misdemeanor

TORRANCE, CALIF. - Los Angeles Kings defenceman Slava Voynov has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour stemming from a domestic violence incident with his wife after a Halloween party.

Voynov entered the plea Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court to a count of corporal injury to a spouse.

Under terms of the plea deal, he was sentenced to a 90-day jail term and three years of probation. The plea averts a trial on a felony count.

The Russian Olympian had been charged with corporal injury to a spouse with great bodily injury after an argument at a party attended by other Kings players.
