When the NHL introduced replay review for penalties, the goal was to ensure that the refs were able to take a second look to ensure that they get the call correct.

Miller was shaken up after the hit, likely both due to the hit itself and due him hitting the ice.
The play in question:
Orlov was initially assessed a major penalty.
