Olli Maatta will miss time following a suspension-worthy hit from Brooks Orpik in Game 2 of the Pittsburgh Penguins' second-round series with the Washington Capitals.

The defenseman has been ruled out of at least Game 3 with an upper-body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed Monday.

Coach Sullivan on if Olli Maatta could play in the #WSHvsPIT series: "Is there a possibility? Yeah. He's not going to play tonight."

His replacement will be made official at game time, with either Derrick Pouliot or Justin Schultz set to enter the fray.

Maatta was injured in the first period of Game 2 after a late, high hit by Orpik, who was suspended three games for interference.
