Breaking: NHL defenseman arrested early this morning.

It looks like one National Hockey League defenseman may have taken his first round playoff exit pretty hard, and it may have led to him making some bad decisions in the offseason.

According to a report from Vince Lattanzio, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Evgeny Medvedev has been arrested under suspicion of driving while under the influence. The arrest is believed to have taken place around roughly 2:45 am on Wednesday morning in Montgomery County.

From Lattanzio's report:

Lower Moreland Police Chief Pete Hasson tells NBC10 Medvedev was stopped for a traffic violation around 2:45 a.m. along Byberry Road in Lower Moreland.

The officer then arrested the 33-year-old Russian national for suspicion of driving under the influence, Hasson said.
Charges have not been filed in the case. Hanson said police are awaiting toxicology results. Medvedev has since been released from police custody.

Medvedev currently has a one year deal with the Flyers' and an incident like this could put his future with the club in serious jeopardy, at this time the Flyers' have not yet commented on the arrest.
