that hit is right on the borderline. at first i was a firm believer he should have been suspended. but the more i watch it, the less i think so
he had less than a second and less than 10 feet between the time he lifted his head up to the time he hit miller. you could see he was skating 100% to catch the puck and looked up and was probably surprised to see miller there. when you watch the close up slow motion it looks like he wiggles his left foot trying to put some brakes on but hes like 5 feet from miller at that time.

the question in my mind is about the shove he gave during the hit.

its definitely a penalty worthy hit, but i think its just inside the borderline of suspendable. JUST inside the line.
