Washington Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik has a hearing Sunday with the NHL's department of player safety for his late hit to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series. ''I thought it was a late hit,'' Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said after his team's 2-1 victory that tied the series. Sullivan said Maatta was ''out,'' adding that the team would probably have a further update Sunday.
