(ORIGINAL STORY): A scary moment occurred during the third period of the Montreal Canadiens’ game against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk took Artturi Lehkonen’s to the left side of his face, knocking him down instantly before skating off the ice covering his left eye.
You can view the play when it happened here. Some may find the video graphic.
