Trotz said, "We'll let the League handle it."
Letang was suspended one game by the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Tuesday.
At times during the game, however, the Capitals didn't appear content to "let the League handle it." Right wing Daniel Winnik whacked Letang in the right leg, earning a slashing penalty with 1:51 left in the first period that gave the Penguins a power play in a game they already led 2-0.
Capitals right wing Tom Wilson exchanged words with Letang right after that. In the second period, Johansson delivered a big hit on Letang in the left corner, and Nicklas Backstrom appeared to accidentally knee the Penguins defenseman in the back of the head while attempting to jump over him.
Letang heard it from the Capitals bench after he got up.
"They were saying I was staying down for no reason," Letang said. "Chirping happens."
It was understandable that the Capitals were angry with Letang.
"When you see one of your own players on the ground, it's going to upset you no matter what happens," Washington right wing Justin Williams said. "So, we're glad [Johansson] came back and played."
But they denied they got out of their game by trying to hit Letang more after that.
"We want to try to hit him all the time," Williams said. "He played 35 minutes [in Game 2]."
