Looks like a clean hit on Couture, but they threw Carter in the box.
Must have been interference since it was a tad late.
Isn't a penalty, no matter what the referee fantasized. Couture had the puck and was shooting it into the LA zone at the time he was hit - awkward hit does not equate into penalty. Referee looks and sees player on the ice and decides must be a penalty - perfect example of a referee wanting to be bigger than the game and players. Since it's LA and San Jose, it will be forgotten in a day at most.
