The NHL announced Friday that Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons will not be suspended for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final after his involvement in a high-sticking incident in Game 5.
Sissons received a match penalty late in Game 5 for cross-checking Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta in the face.
Preds head coach Peter Laviolette told reporters he didn't believe Sissons intentionally checked Maatta high:
"I watched it play out. I saw Maatta cross-check him, Colton cross-checked him back, Maatta cross-checked him again, and they were doing it somewhere in the midsection.
