If you can't make that play, I have no clue how he's supposed to stop Jackman there, then.
Jackman's more at fault for putting his damn head down when he knows Smid's about to engage him.

You angle the guy off and basically bear hug him for a second and then gain possession of the puck. Banging a guy's head into the glass wasn't the only option.
