NHLPA file appeal on Voynov's behalf:
The NHLPA has filed an appeal on behalf of Slava Voynov. The appeal will be heard by an impartial arbitrator.The NHL suspended Voynov on Tuesday for the 2019-20 season and 2020 playoffs after determining he committed acts of domestic violence.
Commissioner Gary Bettman suspended Voynov for what the league called unacceptable off-ice conduct. The 29-year-old could have his eligibility restored on July 1, 2020, based on good behaviour. In September, Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson was suspended 27 games for unacceptable off-ice conduct following an investigation and hearing after he pleaded no contest in July to a charge of domestic assault stemming from an incident in June. Arbitrator Shyam Das reduced the suspension to 18 games on appeal.
Voynov last played an NHL game on Oct. 19, 2014. He has 190 regular-season and 64 playoff games of experience, all with the Kings, and won the Stanley Cup with them in 2012 and 2014.
