It doesn't really matter if he tried to avoid it though. Did he hit Kadri after Xhekaj steered Kadri into him? He did. Was the puck there? Nope. Was it also a blindside hit, the type that gets a lot of scrutiny? Yep. It was absolutely incidental contact but intent doesn't matter. I don't think Suzuki could have done anything different either, it was just one of those wrong place/wrong time situations but even with that, it still fits the definition of what constitutes an interference penalty.
