I certainly don't think he is targeting the head. Tkatchuk's back is to Doughty and he is trying to body him to get separation to make a play behind the net (which happens a lot in the game). Unless he has eyes in the back of his head I don't think you can say he is targeting the head. His shoulder/upper arm makes contact with Doughty's head but I certainly don't think that was the intent, just unfortunate that Doughty was leaning over to make a play at the puck, so he wasn't standing fully upright.

However he did make head contact though and knowing the Flames luck he will probably get suspended. I do think a fine is suffice though.
