Gio was completely stopped on the ice and braced for contact, we don't even know for sure if there is a leg injury or leg and head. Aho's head did get hit, but there isn't much else for Giordano to do, besides move out of the way. This looks to me like a collision on the ice, and Aho lost.
I don't think he should be suspended, but the NHL is pretty good at screwing these things up.
