MONTREAL – The girlfriend of Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk was allegedly arrested Sunday on charges of domestic violence, reports La Presse.
Chanel Leszczynski, 27, apparently showed up at Galchenyuk’s apartment around 8 a.m.
The hockey player and several of his friends were there, supposedly including teammate Devante Smith-Pelly.

Leszczynski was then arrested as the instigator; Galchenyuk reportedly refused to press charges.
