The hit in question came in the the first period after Letang caught Johansson with a high-hit after the Capitals forward passed off the puck.
Letang appeared to make contact with Johansson's head and the hit has the Capitals calling for similar discipline given to Brooks Orpik who received a three-game suspension for his high-hit on Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta in Game 2.
Luckily for the Capitals Johnasson didn't appear to suffer any serious injuries as he returned to play the rest of the game.
