Predators' Colton Sissons cleared for Game 6 after match penalty

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Predators center Colton Sissons will be able to play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final after the NHL decided against suspending him.

The NHL reviewed Sissons' cross-check of Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta's face inside the final minute of Thursday night's 6-0 win by Pittsburgh.

Sissons was given a match penalty, triggering an automatic review. Not having Sissons would have been a blow to Nashville's depth at forward with center Ryan Johansen and left wing Kevin Fiala out injured.

The league announced its decision on Twitter on Friday.
