From watching the clip over and over again I think Pettersson’s head bounced off the glass twice on the initial hit which is where the concussion likely originated. The one handed body slam was more violent than intended because Pettersson had probably gone limp and wasn’t bracing himself or trying to resist. Matheson took the body harder than was necessary, but if Pettersson was stronger on his skates or was better prepared to take the hit in the first place none of this would have happened.
