The NHLPA has filed an appeal on behalf of Slava Voynov, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.

Voynov's appeal will be heard by an impartial arbitrator, adds LeBrun.

The 29-year-old former NHL defenseman was suspended Tuesday for the entire 2019-20 season for what the league called "unacceptable off-ice conduct."

Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement that he determined Voynov engaged in acts of domestic violence directed at his wife.

Voynov last played in the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014-15. He's spent the last three campaigns in the KHL with SKA St. Petersburg.
