P.K. Subban isn't going to hold back in Game 4 after appearing to catch Nathan MacKinnon with a blindside punch to the head in Game 3.

Asked after Tuesday's practice whether the incident involving him and the Colorado Avalanche star forward was "just a normal hit," the talented Nashville Predators defenseman was unrepentant.

"Yeah," a visibly annoyed Subban said, according to The Tennessean's Joe Rexrode. "I'd do it again next game."

Subban wasn't penalized for the hit itself, instead receiving a holding minor for his role in the aftermath, and he reportedly won't be getting any supplemental discipline for the initial act.

He chalked it up to postseason hockey and appeared to imply that reporters were blowing it out of proportion.

"If you're in the playoffs, there's things that are going to happen in games," Subban said. "It just depends on the media and what they make of it. It's up to you guys."

The Avalanche cut the Predators' series lead to 2-1 with a 5-3 victory Monday night.
