9:24 AM PT<\/strong> — Good news, bad news for Boychuck …<\/p>\n

The good … Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello<\/strong> says the defenseman did NOT suffer damage to his eyeball in the accident.<\/p>\n

The bad … the injury took 90 stitches to repair!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He felt the skate blade get his eye,” Lamoriello said Wednesday morning. “But, fortunately, it just got the eyelid. It took 90 stitches to fix. A plastic surgeon took care of it.”<\/p>\n

Lou added, “He’ll be fine. It’s just a matter of time, with the eye opening up and him feeling good.”<\/p>\n

WARNING: THIS IS TERRIFYING!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk<\/strong> was kicked in the face with a skate Tuesday night … and the scene was scary as hell.<\/p>\n

Boychuck was skating by his crease in the 3rd period of the Isles’ game against the Canadians in Brooklyn … when Habs winger Artturi Lehkonen<\/strong> lost his balance in front of him and kicked backward.<\/p>\n

You can see in video of the incident … the blade of Lehkonen’s skate caught Boychuck flush in the face — and he immediately crumpled in serious pain.<\/p>\n

The cut was so bad … Boychuk didn’t even wait for trainers to get to him on the ice before he bolted off — and after the game, Islanders coach Barry Trotz <\/strong>sounded VERY concerned for his 36-year-old D-man.<\/p>\n

“No update on Johnny Boychuk,” Trotz told reporters. “It’s pretty scary obviously around the facial\/eye area. He’s being evaluated.”<\/p>\n

There is some positive news, however … Johnny’s older brother, David Boychuk<\/strong>, posted on Twitter, “A few extra zips but sounds like he should hire someone else to do his eyebrows from now on.”<\/p>\n

David added, “Really tough to see a loved one involved in a scary moment like tonight. Thankful for the big guy looking out for JB tonight.”<\/p>\n

As for the game … the Islanders lost, 6-2 — but team captain Anders Lee<\/strong> told reporters all he cared about was Johnny’s health.<\/p>\n

“I think that\u2019s where all our minds are right now for sure.”<\/p>\n
