The NHL Department http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/brandon-lafell-jersey_c-388.htmlof Player Safety ruled that Letang made ''significant head contact'' on Johansson well after the Capitals forward had released the puck during a sequence in the first period.

Johansson was carrying the puck into the Pittsburgh zone when he made a pass to the boards as four Penguins converged on him.

Letang drilled Johansson in the upper body well after the puck was gone, Letang's http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/bryan-stork-jersey_c-385.htmlshoulder making contact with Johansson's chest and chin.

The forward briefly left the game before returning. Letang received a minor penalty for interference following the play and issued the suspension after a brief hearing on Tuesday.

The league pointed out because Johansson was not in possession of the puck, P. J. WilliamsJerseyhe was not eligible to be checked on the play. The NHL stopped short, however, of describing the hit as ''charging,'' which could have carried stiffer discipline.

Letang did leave his feet while finishing the check, http://www.saintsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Parys-Haralson-Jerseybut the league attributed that to the force of the collision. The NHL also said ''the head was not the main point of contact.''

Johansson underwent the NHL's concussion protocol before returning to the game, though he did complain of some neck pain after the Capitals fell behind 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Washington held the forward out of practice on Tuesday. Coach Barry Trotz said Johansson will be evaluated on Wednesday.
