Actually, I don't think we can tell whether he got the elbow or not. I agree his hand didn't get the elbow but the rest of the defender's arm was right there where it could have hit. I just can't tell for sure from the angle in the video....and the L was in a great position.

I tend to go with a blocked shot, but I can't say that with 100% certainty.
