It’s in relation to sexual assault allegations by a woman in June, 2018.
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart, New Jersey Devils players Cal Foote and Michael McLeod, Calgary’s Dillon Dube are all on a leave of absence from their teams for ‘personal reasons.’
London police say they’ll provide an update at a news conference next Monday.
