He had the puck then lost it, got hit with in a second of losing it, just because he turned back into the play doesn’t let him get a free pass from being hit, just finishing the check, good hit.
It’s walking the line as far as time goes, but then you factor in the fact that he has skated away from the play its interference. Throw in being high and everything is warranted
Pitlick moved specifically with the intention of making contact. If you watch he turn AWAY from the play to make contact with Bergeron. Add to the fact that the head was the principle point of contact and it was an overall dirty play.

He did just have the puck, so it shouldn’t be interference; it is high though, so at least 2 for that.

Clean check!
