An avoidable hit? Literally fractions of a second sooner and that is absolutely the right play.
In understand you can’t make a beeline to a player just to make a hit, but in this case he was clearly back checking hard to the player with the puck, and he made the appropriate play on the body. That’s vastly different than charging for the sake of laying someone out.
