The Los Angeles Kings announced Wednesday they have suspended goaltending prospect Patrik Bartosak, who is accused in New Hampshire of 12 domestic-related charges involving his girlfriend, including a felony assault charge alleging he attempted to strangle her at an apartment.
The 22-year-old Bartosask, who was a fifth-round pick by the Kings in the 2013 NHL draft, was arrested Monday and waived arraignment Tuesday in circuit court in Manchester. He is scheduled for a hearing on the assault charge on Dec. 16 and will face trial on the 11 misdemeanors in January, which include simple assault, criminal threatening, and stalking.
