Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin and Pittsburgh Penguins owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle will be named as defendants in a sexual assault lawsuit, according to a statement in advance of the filing Tuesday.
Erin Skalde has said she was sexually assaulted by then-Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins coach Clark Donatelli:
"The lawsuit will state that sexual abuse took place on a team road trip to Providence, Rhode Island on November 11, 2018, and that the team's handling of the incident included [Skalde's husband] Jarrod being told to keep quiet by organization management, Erin being called a liar and never being interviewed as part of the team's investigation, along with Jarrod being fired from the organization.
