Brooks Orpik Checks Olli Maatta in the Head

Brooks Orpik had missed a few playoff games due to injury, possibly a concussion. Now back on active duty, Orpik put a headshot on Pittsburgh defenseman Olli Maata, who has his own history with head injuries.

This was a dirty play. Late and targeting the head.

Maatta, 21, needed help getting off the ice.

Orpik, 35, was assessed a minor penalty for interference, but I guarantee you that DOPS will be looking at this.
