You all know that I never defend Pittsburgh, and I may be wrong on this, but it is my understanding of the rule that since Letang made contact with the puck first, it isn't a penalty. Sort of like when a backchecker dives to defend a breakaway, if they knock the puck off the stick before taking out the guys' legs, it shouldn't be a penalty.
Again, I may be wrong in this, but that's my understanding of the rule. I'd have to look at the official rulebook more closely
