If Kylington, I'm annoyed that he made a stupid play. You don't want to see a guy injured, and I hope he's okay, but you have to protect yourself.
He checked his shoulder to see if anyone was incoming, then proceeded to play the puck. Whether he recognized it was Lucic or not, he didn't and shouldn't expect being plowed from behind.

The onus is on Lucic in this situation, and his punishment is commensurate.
