Penguins' Letang won't be banned for slash on Stalberg [Video]

NEW YORK - If Viktor Stalberg tries to utter the phrase “Where’s the justice?” he might find himself lisping while formulating the words.

That’s because the New York Rangers forward had three teeth knocked out courtesy of a slash to his face and throat by Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang during Pittsburgh’s 3-1 victory Tuesday. According to the Rangers, they were his real natural choppers, too — no caps or dentures.

No penalty was called on the play. Nor will the NHL seek any disciplinary action, a decision that the Rangers accept, albeit don’t necessarily agree with.
