Islanders’ Johnny Boychuk scary moment against the Habs

Johnny Boychuk scary moment

Tuesday night New York Islanders star defenseman Johnny Boychuk of the New York Islanders experienced a terrifying moment during a game against the Montreal Canadians as Artturi Lehkonen’s skate came up and slashed his eye. At first the situation seemed very grim and the fear was that his eye had been cut, but luckily it was protected by his eyelid.
