Larsson is playing the puck off the boards. His elbow incidentally hits him in the face. This is no different than an incidental high sticking penalty. It’s a painful missed call, but I don’t believe there was any malicious intent.

It obviously wasn’t intentional, but it should have been called.

Probably should’ve been a penalty but he didn’t do it on purpose to Ek

Not a penalty. Same as a high stick on a follow through of a shot, not a penalty.
His elbow is flared out because the boards are handcuffing his follow through. I think there is zero intent to hit Ek, it’s just unfortunate.

This is a split second judgement call by the referee and I don’t think anyone could argue if it had been called or not. Seems like most injuries happen with these types of is it a penalty or not plays.

It’s just a hockey play. Sucks for Ekker but it is what it is.
My guess is he didn’t show any emotion either way…..

Yes, it was a missed penalty.
No, there was not intent.
I dare any of you saying it was intentional to practice digging a puck out from your feet from your backhand. Where the hell does YOUR elbow go?
