Kapanen has been suspected of aggravated drunk driving in Finland, according to Puck Empire on Instagram. The case started in August in lower court in Finland, and is expected to go to the District Court in February 2024.
While we still need to wait for the details to come out, and for Kapanen to respond, this is a huge distraction for St. Louis right before the season starts. Unfortunately, it also appears it will stretch until the middle of the season as well.
