The suspension is accompanied by mandatory referral to the NHL/NHLPA Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health. Voynov had played in six games for the Kings before his suspension and was not reinstated before the end of the season. On May 30, 2016, the NHL ruled Voynov's suspension was still in effect and he was not eligible to play in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. On April 9, 2019, the NHL lifted Voynov's indefinite suspension, instead suspended him for the entirety of the 2019–20 NHL season and playoffs, leaving Voynov eligible to return to play in the NHL (barring further incident) on July 1, 2020. After appeal by Voynov and the NHLPA, on May 23, 2019, NHL/NHLPA Neutral Discipline Arbitrator, Shyam Das, upheld the suspension, but credited Voynov with having already served 41 games of such suspension, thus making him eligible to return at the mid-point of the 2019-20 regular season. Voynov was suspended with pay and did not forfeit any salary. Suspension accompanied by mandatory referral to the NHL/NHLPA Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health.

Fines Players can be fined up to 50% of one day's salary, up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for their first offense, and $15,000.00 for any subsequent offenses. Fines listed in italics indicate that was the maximum allowed fine.
