Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault and battery on a family member, according to the Associated Press.
The Boston Globe reported police arrested Lucic on Saturday after he had allegedly gotten into an argument with his wife, Brittany.
She had called 911 and said her husband "attempted to choke her," per the police report obtained by the Globe. While she denied the allegation when asked directly by an officer, the officer "observed redness" on her chest.
Lucic's wife said the argument began when he returned home after going out and couldn't find his phone.
