Former Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov was named to Team Russia's final roster for September's World Cup of Hockey, but it's unlikely the 26-year-old will compete in Toronto.

According to ESPN, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly released a statement saying: "We will obviously have to review (Voynov's) status with the Players' Association prior to the start of the tournament in September. It is not my current expectation that this player will be deemed eligible to play in the World Cup of Hockey."

Voynov was suspended indefinitely by the NHL in October 2014 after being arrested on domestic violence charges, and hasn't played in the league since. He was eventually sentenced to 90 days in jail, and returned to Russia to play for SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL this past season.
