Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Former Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Malone pled no contest to a DUI charge in court Tuesday morning, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.
The 34-year-old is set to enter a pre-trial intervention program stemming from a cocaine possession charge.
With pre-trial intervention program, Malone's charge of cocaine possession will be dismissed if he completes requirements.

Malone's agent said a couple NHL teams are interested in the unrestricted free agent; the signing process will no doubt be helped along by putting these legal issues behind him.
