It was only reviewed for a hand pass.
Here was the NHLs statement where they explicitly state what they reviewed.

Fair enough. I still see offensive zone stoppage, hand pass on that NHL rulingz and if they saw a squeeze and throw of the puck, that could be technically a whistle.
And the rules states the puck can be batted, and that's still what occured IMO
Forsberg tried to bat it to himself and he reached his stick over trying to put it in. If he somehow scored they it would be much more debatable whether he batted it to a spot to gain an advantage (yes)...but IMO he didn't grab it, squeeze it and throw it (penalty) as is being contended.
And I also think it was a lot closer 5 seconds earlier to offside on the zone entry.
