Johnny Boychuk got extremely lucky on Tuesday night. When a skate blade came up high and hit Boychuk in the face during the Islanders 6-2 loss to the Canadiens, everyone feared the worst when Boychuk ran off covering his face.
It was hard to watch on the replay, and I don't feel comfortable embedding the video in here. If you want to see it you can find plenty of videos and GIFs on Twitter.
We didn't get an update after the game on Johnny, but we heard yesterday that it took 90 stitches to close up his eye.
