Nope.
Arm was tucked and he stood his ground throwing a hockey hit shoulder to chest. Aho was egregiously looking at his skates and as such had his head lowered skating into Gio.
That is just a terrible take on the hit.
The refs weren't even going to call it until they caved to fan pressure.
I'd go so far as to laugh off the possibility of a suspension, but the NHL's absolute inconsistency in these matters is even more laughable so who know where the wheel stops on this one.
