Stalberg denies receiving apology from Letang after violent slash

Viktor Stalberg's lost three teeth, and perhaps also a little respect for Kris Letang.

Stalberg said Thursday that he did not receive an apology from the Pittsburgh Penguins star defenseman, who delivered a violent, but in the end deemed inadvertent, slash across his jaw in Game 3.

Letang indicated with reporters that he reached out Wednesday.

Stalberg was on the ice for the team's optional skate, and like Letang, who avoided discipline, could feature in Game 4.
