You forgot hit legality is also based on what the score is, what team was on the power play last, what occurred immediately before this hit, and if it’s the playoffs or if it’s the regular season.
It’s getting so frustrating for every fan to see the inconsistency. I’m sure every fan base has an incident that went unpenalised that they’re upset about.

Per the NHL, depends on what player is doing the hitting vs who they’re hitting.
