It appears Patrick Marleau will be in the San Jose Sharks lineup for a pivotal Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night.

Marleau reportedly won't be disciplined by the league after a high hit on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust in Game 1 on Monday, according to Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos.

Here's the hit:

Rust was forced from the game, and was diagnosed as day to day with an upper-body injury, with his condition expected to be updated Tuesday. The Penguins will no doubt be unhappy with the league's decision, as head coach Mike Sullivan called the play a "blindside hit to the head."

Marleau said after Game 1 that he didn't expect to be hearing from the league, saying he kept his elbow down on the play, which the video corroborates.

"I just kind of let him skate into me," Marleau said, according to Pro Hockey Talk's Jason Brough.

Both Rust and Marleau found the back of the net in Game 1.
