I do agree with it being two minutes though. I suspect he gets fined because it was missed and because it led to an injury.

Sorry, disagree with this completely. He does with his stick what 90% of defenders do with it when they go into the boards like that. He uses his arm to toss him aside with a little extra push as he realizes how easily he is going down. Stupid play but nothing more than that.
As for the canucks not defending I think the play had turned up ice and nobody saw. Even Matheson had his turned and wasn't watching what Pettersson was doing.
