The NHL has suspended Los Angeles Kings defenceman Slava Voynov from all team activities indefinitely while it investigates his arrest on domestic violence charges.


Voynov will not be able to practise with the team or play in games while the NHL investigates, but he will continue to be paid.


The NHL announced the suspension citing Secion 18-1.5 of the collective bargaining agreement, which gives it the power to suspend a player during a criminal investigation if failing to do so "would create a substantial risk of material harm to the legitimate interests and/or reputation of the league."
