Report: Slava Voynov’s domestic violence charge dismissed

Former Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov's domestic violence charge has been dismissed, according to The Athletic's Katie Strang.

On Monday, Voynov had his petition for the dismissal to the Los Angeles County Superior Court granted, Strang reported. The 28-year-old didn't appear in court, according to Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times.

Voynov served two months in jail after pleading "no contest" to a misdemeanor charge of corporal injury to a spouse. The incident occurred in October 2014.

The Kings terminated his contract shortly after the arrest, though the right-handed blue-liner has since played in the KHL for SKA St. Petersburg and internationally at the world championships and 2018 Olympics for Russia.

Multiple NHL teams are said to be interested in signing Voynov if NHL officials allow the two-time Stanley Cup champion to re-enter the league.
