Report: LA Kings' Voynov still suspended by NHL after plea

With Kings defenseman Slava Voynov taking a plea deal in relation to his to domestic assault charges, one of the questions raised was how it would impact his indefinite suspension from the NHL.

According to Rich Hammond of The Orange County Register, Voynov remains suspended.

“Nothing changes with regard to his status vis-a-vis the NHL. No timetables for next steps,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told Hammond. “I imagine we will hear from the Player’s camp and the PA when they are ready to engage.”

The league suspended Voynov in October after he was arrested for domestic assault.
