I can see the arm/elbow made contact with the head
but there was no follow through as you might expect if it was what some people claim, that he was targeting an elbow to the head.
I expect he probably shouldn't have put his arm out, not sure if that will merit a suspension or not - but I don't buy any implication that he was maliciously trying to elbow him to the head.
And I do think Doughty sold this going down like he was nearly unconscious - again, no follow through, no indication it was malicious and Doughty did skate into it... I think Tkachuk's explanation seems pretty legit
