I think the officials applied the wrong rule. For a check to the head match penalty, the referees obviously felt that Kadri targeted the head with intent to cause injury. This, frankly, is the penalty they should have called on his hit on Backstrom. A boarding minor would have been fair on the Granlund hit.
