New Jersey Devils forward Dainius Zubrus issued a statement Saturday following the suspected suicide of a Ukrainian coach who mentored Zubrus as a teen. Ivan Pravilov, 49, while in custody in Philadelphia on child-molestation charges, was found unresponsive in his cell at 3 a.m. Friday, according to spokesman Darrin Howard of the city's Federal Detention Center. "Obviously, this is a very difficult time. Ivan Pravilov played an important role in my life," Zubrus said in the statement released by the team during the third period of New Jersey's game against the Florida Panthers. "Unfortunately, I have come to learn that in actuality, he may have been very different than the person I thought he was."
