Orpik will be suspended three games for his hit on Pittsburgh's Olli Maatta in Saturday's Game 2.

Analysis:

Already sporting a history of questionable hits, Orpik picked a bad time for his clear infraction against Maatta. Orpik previously missed the final three games of Washington's first-round series against the Flyers with an upper-body injury. Dmitry Orlov and/or Mike Weber may rejoin the lineup for Monday's Game 3.
