Evgeni Malkin will not be fined or suspended by the NHL for his hit from behind on Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk late in the Penguins' 5-2 victory Sunday against the Bruins at Consol Energy Center.

Malkin received a minor penalty for boarding on the play, when he checked Boychuk in the back near the boards, causing Boychuk's head to strike the glass.
