Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the NHL, announced on Tuesday that the NHL had determined that Voynov committed "unacceptable off-ice conduct." As a result, the NHL suspended him for the 2019-20 season. The NHL said that Voynov could petition for reinstatement on July 1, 2020. On Tuesday, April 9, 2019, the NHL suspended Slava Voynov for the 2019-20 season. The NHL concluded that Voynov had committed acts of domestic violence in 2014. The NHL Players Association subsequently filed an appeal of the decision to an independent arbitrator. The arbitrator will ultimately determine if and when Voynov will be welcomed back to the NHL.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman levied the suspension under Rule 18-A of the NHL/NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The investigation and hearing were conducted, pursuant to the terms of the CBA, to determine the relevant facts and circumstances relating to an Oct. 19, 2014, incident involving Voynov and his wife. The incident ultimately resulted in Voynov pleading no contest to a misdemeanor violation of § 273.5(a) of the California Penal Code on July 2, 2015.

In 169 career regular season games in the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Arizona Coyotes and the Canadiens, Weal has registered 54 points (24 goals, 30 assists). The former member of the Regina Pats, in the WHL, has collected 42 career penalty minutes in the NHL in addition to winning 53.4% of his draws. He skated in one playoff game in 2017-18 with Philadelphia. The 5-foot-10, 179-pound forward registered 10 points (4 goals, 6 assists) in 16 games with the Canadiens, including three power play points and one game-winning goal. Weal also won 55.1% of his faceoffs during his stint with the Canadiens and maintained a 15:36 average of ice time per game.

Bettman's decision came after an investigation by the NHL and an in-person hearing with Voynov in New York on March 21. Today's ruling, while tailored to the specific facts of this case and the individuals involved, is necessary and consistent with the NHL's strongly held policy that it cannot and will not tolerate this and similar types of conduct, particularly as directed at a spouse, domestic partner or family member," Bettman said in a statement issued Tuesday. The NHL Players Association says it is reviewing the NHL's decision on Voynov. The NHLPA has the option to appeal to an independent arbitrator.

After playing three seasons in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League and winning a gold medal at the 2018 Olympics without NHL players, Voynov moved back to the U.S. and was applying to be reinstated by the NHL. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly in August said Voynov's return would be contingent on completing a process with the league to review his case. Voynov was suspended indefinitely in October 2014 after being arrested and accused of domestic abuse of his wife. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor, left the United States to go back to Russia and in July had the conviction dismissed by a judge in Los Angeles.
