from Michael Russo of Russo Rants,

Chris Kreider got booted after he sent Brodin flying face-first into the yellow dasher between the ice and the end boards. In the waning seconds of the first period, Brodin stopped short in front of Kreider at the goal line, but the big Rangers forward dangerously shoved Brodin on the top of the numbers and downward five feet from the end boards.

Brodin after the game said it was a hand injury and one of his fingers was wrapped and swollen.
