Bortuzzo didn't move. D'amigo skated with his head down right into Bortuzzo. Yea there was head contact but only because his head was down. Nothing Borts can do there to avoid head contact. No suspension coming on this one. Not a homer, I can't defend Neal or Engelland first away at those two. This…don't think it warrants a suspension
It was a dirty hit! he made contact with the head and clearly did not try to avoid it along with following through by jumping into him and extending his elbow through his head

Nhl has already ruled it was unavoidable head contact
NHL player safety has said they won't be seeking discipline. Called it "unavoidable head contact".

Clean hit (from a neutral fan)
Clean hit. This was all D'Amigo's fault. He had his head down…
Yeah, I'm gonna need you to keep your head up, D'Amigo.

Clean hit because Bortuzzo is literately a foot taller than D'amigo. It happens when a big player hits a smaller player. Deal with it.
