BARNSTABLE, MASS. - A former NHL player has pleaded not guilty to charges he assaulted a woman in Massachusetts over the weekend.
The Cape Cod Times reports Daniel LaCouture appeared Tuesday in Barnstable District Court on charges of assault and battery and vandalizing property.
Police responded just after 6 p.m. Saturday to a house in Centerville, where they say the 39-year-old LaCouture hid underneath a vehicle in the home's driveway before confronting the victim and striking her in the collarbone.
LaCouture is due back in court July 15.
A phone number listed for LaCouture in online public records was disconnected.
