Preventable, sure, but still a brutally weak call. That was a game management penalty. The refs knew they hadn't given Winnipeg a power play yet, so chose to call it. It happens.
It is also a situation where you have a kid who's probably never played in a league with touch icing trying to finish the play.
When I look at that play, I see two things: A 19-year-old kid willing to go into the corners, and a league that needs to go to no-touch icing.
