Wrong. For it to be attempt to injure it actually has to be an illegal play. A clean hit is a clean hit, it doesn't matter what you're thinking in your head at the time.

Here's a common situation: a player from Team A makes a dirty hit. Team B wants revenge. What do people say? "Make him pay with a hard clean hit". You could say that they are intending to hurt this player, but still doing it illegal. This is generally accepted as a way to get revenge in a fair way.

If Camara doesn't make the hit, Luza likely carries the puck out of the zone. Camara was finishing his check in order to prevent a breakout. Therefore it was strategic hockey play. If it was intent to injure, he could have lifted his elbows or perhaps taken more strides to crush Luza.

Puck was on his tape, Luza fumbled it for a sec. You're allowed to the body in that situation. You can still play the puck with your skates by kicking it etc. Even if had had chipped the puck away, it was still a split second between loss of the puck and the hit, well under the limit for interference and probably not enough to for Camara to react especially when he already committed to the hit when he saw Luza get the puck.
