Report: Flyers' Medvedev arrested on suspicion of DUI

Derik Hamilton / USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Evgeny Medvedev was reportedly arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of DUI, police confirmed to Vince Lattanzio from NBC Philadelphia.

Medvedev was released from custody in Montgomery County, Md., and charges have not been laid as police await toxicology results.

The 33-year-old rookie played sparingly down the stretch for Philadelphia, and did not appear in the club's six-game run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Medvedev came over from Kazan Ak-Bars last summer after seven seasons in the KHL.
