I just don't know. At first I thought it was a dirty elbow but after hearing the shoulder idea and watching it again it looks to me it was should contact with Doughty's chin and not an elbow at all. Yes Tkachuk's arm goes back into him, but as he skates away you can tell where the elbow stripes are and it looks like lower-mid chest, not chin level.

Wish there was an other angle.
