That was a clipping penalty... Look up the rule. Primary point of contact was the knee... Hope they send the tape in on that one...was as dirty as it gets....

Actually, not one person in the press box including team management thought it was an illegal hit. Maybe the coach thought differently, but he didn't say anything either.

Rule 44 - Clipping
44.
1 Clipping
- Clipping is the act of throwing the body, from any direction, across or below the knees of an opponent.
A player may not deliver a check in a "clipping" manner, nor lower his own body position to deliver a check on or below an opponent’s knees.
An illegal "low hit" is a check that is delivered by a player or goalkeeper who may or may not have both skates on the ice, with his sole intent to check the opponent in the area of his knees. A player or goalkeeper may not lower his body position to deliver a check to an opponent’s knees.
44.2
Minor Penalty
- A player who commits these fouls will be assessed a minor penalty for "clipping."
44.3
Major Penalty - If an injury occurs as a result of this "clipping" check, the player must be assessed a major penalty (see 44.5
).
