SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Authorities say Arizona Coyotes forward Richard Panik was arrested for trespassing after refusing to leave the entrance of a bar.

Scottsdale police say Panik, 27, was arrested at the Bevvy the night of April 8, the day after the Coyotes' season ended.

Police say Panik appeared to be intoxicated during his contact with officers.

He was booked into the Scottsdale City Jail and later released on a criminal citation.

In a statement Tuesday, Coyotes officials said they are aware of the incident and still gathering information.

Panik, who had 22 goals and 22 assists for the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2016-17 season, was traded to Arizona in January after getting six goals and 10 assists in 37 games for Chicago.

He had eight goals and 11 assists in 35 games for the Coyotes.
