There was no damage to his eye, though he did need 90 stitches.
New York Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk needed 90 stitches to his eyelid after he was caught in the face by a skate Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens, general manager Lou Lamoriello said Wednesday.
"Johnny Boychuk is OK," Lamoriello told reporters."There's been no damage to his eye. Fortunately the skate blade just got the eyelid. It took 90 stitches for a plastic surgeon to fix. But he’ll be fine." The incident happened after Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov tried to make a glove save, and Boychuk tried to get Canadiens forward Artturi Lehkonen out of the crease. Lehkonen tripped and his skate came up and hit Boychuk in the face under his visor during the third period.
Boychuk was in pain but got up quickly and rushed to the dressing room with his glove covering his face. A trainer followed him.Boychuk, the third Islanders player to be injured by an errant skate this season, weighed in on his Twitter account Wednesday afternoon, thanking fans and cracking a joke.
