Ryan Callahan reportedly won't be disciplined further for his hit on Kris Letang.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety does not have a hearing scheduled with the Tampa Bay Lightning forward, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.
Callahan drove the Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman into the boards early in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday night.
He was given a five-minute major for boarding but was not ejected. Letang was forced to leave the game, but returned before the first intermission.
Callahan said after the game that he thought the position Letang was in made the hit "worse than it was".
