Looks dirty, but really isn’t. If Slaf doesn’t inexplicably crouch and lower his head into a hit he saw coming, this is a shoulder check that either catches him in the chest or shoulder, without any head contact.
THIS is why you get play the man, not the puck hammered into you as far back as 12 years old by every coach you’ll have playing competitive hockey

Ouch. But I was taught to keep my head up. His head was down reaching for the puck.

A perfectly legal hit. Not Dickinson’s fault Slafkovsky was staring at the puck.
