Milan Lucic's wife, Brittany, filed for divorce on Monday night citing "irreconcilable differences," according to TMZ Sports.

The Boston Bruins star was arrested in the early hours of Nov. 18 after an alleged domestic violence dispute. Brittany Lucic listed the date of their separation as the previous night.

Lucic took a leave of absence from the team following the alleged dispute and pleaded not guilty to assaulting her. He has not played since Oct. 21.

According to a Boston Police Department report, Lucic appeared intoxicated when officers arrived at his North End apartment early Saturday after his wife reported that he tried to choke her. Brittany Lucic told the responding officers that her husband had pulled her hair, but said he did not try to strangle her. She declined an offer of medical treatment.

The two got married on July 19, 2012, and the case was eventually dismissed in February after Brittany decided not to testify against her husband.

"The organization takes these matters very seriously, and we will work with the Lucic family to provide any support and assistance they may need," the team said in a statement at the time of his arrest.
