Kings defenseman Slava Voynov was arrested on domestic violence charges and suspended from all club activities by the NHL pending an investigation into the matter, the league announced in a press release Monday. Further details were not immediately available, although media reports indicate the arrest happened in Redondo Beach early Monday morning. There is no mention of a wife or family in the personal section of Voynov’s biography in the Kings’ 2014-15 media guide. There was no immediate comment from the Kings, the defending Stanley Cup champions.

Voynov’s arrest and suspension happened only weeks after NHL commissioner Gary Bettman insisted in a visit to Staples Center for the Kings’ season-opening game Oct. 8 that the league does not have a domestic abuse problem. The NFL has been under harsh scrutiny in the wake of a video showing then-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice striking his then fiance in the elevator of an Atlantic City, N.J., casino/hotel. The NFL initial suspended Rice for only two games.

Voynov, a 24-year-old Russian, has played for the Kings since 2011-12.
