The Islanders weren't the only ones throwing haymakers Tuesday night. While Bo Horvat was busy burying the Penguins in overtime, a full-on brawl broke out in the stands at UBS Arena. And one Penguins fan made herself the star of the show for all the wrong reasons.

A now-viral video shows a woman in a yellow No. 71 Evgeni Malkin jersey getting escorted out by security. But before she hit the exit, she flipped the double bird and threw two wild punches at a seated fan on her way out.
"She was being crazy," eyewitness Tori Schneebaum told the New York Post. "On the way out, she lunged at fans in a different section and started swinging at them too."

Apparently, it all started when she allegedly slapped a mom who was there with her kids. That's what prompted security to step in.
The woman was also wearing a sash, though no one can tell what it said. If it was her birthday, it probably ended worse than her team's overtime loss.
No word yet on whether charges are coming, but she's definitely earned herself a one-way ticket to Penguins fan infamy.
On the ice, the Isles came back from a third-period deficit and took the 5-4 win in OT behind Horvat's second goal of the night. The win puts them at 31-21-5 and third in the Metro heading into Thursday's tilt with the Devils.
UBS was rocking. Just maybe a little too literally.
