It would have been different though because Baertschi was in control of the puck when he attempted to get around Seabrook. It in this process that Baertschi fell, resulting in Seabrook falling over top of him. It could have been a call but it would have been a very weak one given it involved two players falling on a hockey play. There is physical contact in the sport and players fall down in pursuit of the puck, it isn't always a penalty.
