Kyle Okposo scores game-winning goal off Marc-Andre Fleury’s back

The Pittsburgh Penguins saw their commanding game two lead dwindle down to a 3-3 tie with the New York Islanders in the third period.  With just under eight minutes to play, Islanders forward Kyle Okposo threw a shot at the net that went wide.  It hit off the back wall, bounced out front and hit Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury in the back and trickled into the net.  The Islanders would go on to win the game 4-3 and Fleury can’t be happy with himself.  If Fleury doesn’t play badly the Penguins will be in great shape, but any more performances like this and I don’t see the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup.
