CBC replay shows (or let's us hear) that the whistle went before Hjalmarsson even shot.

Both guilty. Ok. Quincey's helmet was knocked off while Saad was on his back on the boards being pushed into the bench. Pretty safe to assume at that point putting your arms in the air in an attempt to push the mugger off of you it's not really roughing and more "trying not to fall head first into the bench".
Sure Saad did throw a punch, long after the whistle had been blown. Not sure how the official could predict that considering it hadn't happened when the whistle was blown and Chicago had possession, so obviously that was not the reason for blowing the play dead.
Both guilty indeed.
