Michael McLeod of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils has been charged with sexual assault. His lawyers say McLeod has been charged by police in London, Ontario, and will be pleading not guilty. The development comes two days after former NHL player Alex Formenton turned himself into police to face charges. Five players from Canada’s 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs. More charges are expected.
