The weird thing is he probably could have been. He doesn't stride that much after the blue line. If he just puts his head down and skates back as hard as he can the whole way he might be there a full second earlier. Then, imagine that instead of going for the hit, he goes for the stick lift as Evans circles the net (while potentially running into Evans at the same time, given that he's going to be on that trajectory, but because he isn't loading up for a hit he probably makes more contact with his hip or butt). He might have been in time to stop that from going in. I think he would have at least had a chance of stopping it.
