BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) — A former NHL player has pleaded not guilty to charges he assaulted a woman in Massachusetts over the weekend.

Daniel LaCouture reportedly 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.

He made his NHL debut with Edmonton in 1999. The forward had 20 goals and 25 assists in 337 career games with six NHL teams, including the Bruins.

He is one of dozens of plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the NHL over concussion-related injuries.
