Nah that hit would have been perfectly clean had the star player maintained his posture through contact, this is an incidental head contact and could have been avoided in my opinion!
Clean as can be, I was watching the game live. Stars rookie basically threw a hit on himself by lowering his head and skating straight into isles player shoulder. He will learn. Shouldn't have even been a minor penalty.

Nice analysis there, Homer. Tell your rookie to keep his head up. 6'7" player, ducking his head is asking for it…
