Fists were flying Wednesday night, though the most entertaining blows came off the ice, during the Islanders\u2019 clash with the Penguins.<\/p>\n

In a viral video posted on social media during the Islanders\u2019 wild 5-4 overtime<\/a> win over the Penguins, a fight broke out in the stands at UBS Arena, where a pair of Penguins fans were escorted out \u2014 but not before some added drama.<\/p>\n

As a female fan wearing a yellow No. 71 Evgeni Malkin jersey turned around to leave, she flipped off a different fan and threw two punches at a male who was sitting in his seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was being crazy, and then on the way out, she lunged at fans in a different section and started swinging at them too,\u201d one eyewitness, Tori Schneebaum, tells The Post.<\/p>\n

Security then finally corralled her before she walked up the stairs, departing to thunderous applause with surrounding fans happy she was being given the boot.<\/p>\n

Schneebaum added that the fans around her united in booing and yelling at her for the unhinged behavior.<\/p>\n

One X account claiming to be an eyewitness says the woman was wearing a \u201cFinally 21\u201d sash, implying it was her 21st birthday.<\/p>\n

The video shows that she was wearing a sash, but it\u2019s unclear what it says.<\/p>\n

The account adds that the woman allegedly slapped a mother who was with her two kids, which was the reason security was called in the first place. <\/p>\n

If it was indeed her birthday, it\u2019s certainly one she\u2019d like to forget. It\u2019s unclear if there will be any legal consequences from the incident.<\/p>\n

In a physical back-and-forth game, the Islanders were able to overcome a third-period deficit to tie the game and eventually win in overtime thanks to a game-winning goal by Bo Horvat, his second of the game.<\/p>\n

The win puts the Islanders third in the Metropolitan Division at 31-21-5 and they\u2019ll face the Devils on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fists were flying Wednesday night, though the most entertaining blows came off the ice, during the Islanders\u2019 clash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[394,385,1790,99],"class_list":["post-449015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-new-york-islanders","tag-nhl","tag-pittsburgh-penguins","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
