Except this falls under accidental head trauma for being a skinny man in a big man's league. I said this earlier, but Tkachuk suffers way worse every single night and manages to play through it. The same concerns for Gaudreau exist for Pettersson. If you're extremely slight, it's going to be hard some nights, and some players will go out of their way to make your night miserable. Learn how to avoid contact.
I don't like seeing him hurt, but this was a hockey play that went bad for a smalllish player. There's no serious intent to police here. Just a guy battling for his ice and trying to make things harder for a skilled player.
