The puck then dropped right in front of Okposo

The Islanders 4-3 overtime win was painful to watch for a few reasons, but none more so  than for Winnipeg's Nikolaj Ehlers, whose head absorbed a Frans Nielsen shot and yielded a rebound that bounced right to Kyle Okposo for the game-winning goal.
After gaining the zone, Nielsen put the puck on net towards goalie Michael Hutchinson. The shot (which may have been redirected by the stick of Jacob Trouba) ended up hitting Ehlers in the forehead (or visor maybe? Who knows. Holy shit either way). The puck then dropped right in front of Okposo, who put it past a sliding Hutchinson to give the Islanders the win.
