The correct way for the ref to handle that situation was to let the play proceed, and then review it. But by blowing the whistle and calling it a high stick, he eliminated the opportunity to get it right.
Whether Kuzmenko actually high sticked it or not (looked like not), is somewhat irrelevant. I mean, it's relevant to the game, obviously. But it isn't relevant with respect to whether or not the ref handled it properly. He did not.
