PITTSBURGH -- San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau will not face supplemental discipline for his hit on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final at Consol Energy Center on Monday.
On Tuesday, the NHL Department of Player Safety said that no additional discipline was merited for the hit, which occurred at 4:47 of the third period.
Marleau hit Rust at Pittsburgh's attacking blue line and received a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head. Rust, who scored the opening goal in the first period, missed several shifts after the hit before returning to the bench later in the third and took one shift before being removed from the game again.
