Tom Kuhnhackl took a fairly diplomatic approach to a dangerous cross-check and subsequent punch to the head levied upon him by Matt Calvert of the Columbus Blue Jackets late in Game 2.

"There were a lot of emotions out there. Whatever happened, happened," the Pittsburgh Penguins forward said Saturday, per Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop.

"That's Game 2. It's another day. We're going to get focused for Game 3."

Be that as it may, Calvert faces a hearing and could very well be forced to sit out Game 3 due to suspension. But again, Kuhnhackl wasn't addressing that.

"That's not up to me. That's up to the league," he said. "We'll see what happens."

Physically, Kuhnhackl said his shoulders and neck were sore after the incident, but added that's to be expected due to the physical nature of playoff hockey.

Game 3 is set for Sunday in Columbus.
