The crosscheck was to the chest/upper arms and was not blindside. 2 min for cross checking would've been fine. How he landed (after also making contact with another Vegas player throwing him further off balance) isn't related to the cross check.
It wasn't Eakins fault that Pavelski landed on his head. He could just have easily landed on his ass.
Compare this to Matheson where is was Matheson's actions directly leading to Petey landing in a dangerous position with head contact with ice.

Rule 609 | Cross-Checking
(Note) Cross-checking is the action of using the shaft of the stick between the two hands to forcefully check an opponent with no portion of the stick on the ice.(a) A minor or a major penalty shall be assessed for cross-checking an opponent.
(b) A major plus a game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who injures an opponent as a result of cross-checking.
Found this. Just going to leave it here.
