Guess we’ll find out when DoPS take a look but the ref has to make that judgement in a split second and may not even be in an ideal position. We get the benefit of slow downed replays.
Contact with the head or neck doesn't have to be made for it to be a check to the head penalty. If the checking player uses their upper body to drive the other players head into the boards or glass, then it's a check to the head penalty.

Nickerson went for Fitzgerald after a late hit in the same way Marsh went for Westgarth after his hit on Piggott? Frank then jumped in from behind. Frank got the takedown but from the pic I have of Franks face, Nickerson landed the best punch(es).
