He'll probably get suspended due to optics, though I think there is roughly zero chance it was intentional. He's had a rough year, but he's not an imbecile. I don't even think he was necessarily "woozy" from the hit. A red herring of sorts maybe.
It's simple. He didn't see something... and then he did. Happens every game. Just so happened to be an official he collided with and I guess you should be a little more aware of where they are on the ice. He thought the linesman would be in one place when he started skating for a change (the play was going up the ice) and then suddenly he wasn't (the play quickly reversed). He'll get a handful of games, especially if the linesman ends up with a concussion, but there is no motive nor intent.
