Penguins' Kris Letang: Has hearing for hit on Johansson

Letang will meet with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday, following his interference penalty against Washington's Marcus Johansson in Monday's Game 3.

Analysis:

Letang's hit was clearly dirty, and Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik drew a three-game suspension for a similar play earlier in the series. It thus seems likely Letang will be suspended for at least one game, though it's worth noting that Orpik has a longer track record of questionable hits.
