Flyers' Evgeny Medvedev arrested on suspicion of DUI

Evgeny Medvedev of the Philadelphia Flyers was arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to NBC Philadelphia.

Police say that the 33-year-old Medvedev was pulled over for a traffic violation and later arrested.

No charges have been filed and toxicology reports are not in yet. Medvedev was later released from custody.

Medvedev signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Flyers in the summer after spending the last eight seasons with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL. In 45 games this season, the Russian defenseman recorded 12 points and averaged 18:49 of ice time per game. He did not appear in any of Philadelphia’s six playoff games against the Washington Capitals.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall had no comment on Medvedev's arrest while speaking with the media on Wednesday.
