It was an unlikely candidate with the best lick on public enemy No. 1.

Kris Letang, who drew the Washington Capitals' ire even before he delivered an illegal check to the head of Marcus Johansson in Game 3, has been on the receiving end of a handful of hits in Game 3, but none more crushing than this collision with Nicklas Backstrom.

This type of crash is obviously worrisome for the Penguins and Letang, who has suffered concussions previously. He did stay in the game.
