YouTube
Olli Maatta is apparently no worse for wear.
Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said Friday that his defenseman is "fine" despite taking a cross-check to the nose from Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons in the final minute of Game 5 on Thursday night.
Here's a look at the incident, which drew a match penalty, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti.
Sissons was automatically suspended pending a review by commissioner Gary Bettman, but the league announced Friday that the Predators center won't be suspended for Game 6.
