Very similar to a suspendable hit. You always suspend the action, not the aftermath/result (injury). But the league's questionable decision making leaves a lot to be desired, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Tkachuk getting suspended.
In a world where a player is ejected, is obviously still heated, and is then physically engaged by a player still on the ice**



** yes I know the physical contact probably hurt less than a toddler in a pillow fight
