That said, he's gotta make that play. There's a minute left. You're down 1. There's a medium probability that the wraparound gets stopped by his teammate / Evans fans on it. If Scheifele hits him in the chest instead of the head, you've taken out Evans for a few seconds. Momentum shifts. It's a 6 on 4 going the other way. I don't like the end result, but I get the line of thinking of what Scheifele was trying to do.

I can see Scheifele getting 2 games appealed down to 1. It's a tough play where a split second decision to go for the body instead of the stick was made. In the end a dirty hit where contact to the head was made and the league needs to keep those out of the game.
