VIDEO: Penguins' Fehr a 1-man show, nets game-winner in Vancouver
Eric Fehr's going to remember his second goal as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With Pittsburgh shorthanded, and a delayed penalty on the way against Vancouver, Fehr took off for the Canucks' zone, and decided he'd do it on his own. He dummied Yannick Weber before cutting to the net and putting the puck past Ryan Miller.

The goal turned out to be the game-winning marker, as the Canucks rallied late, but ended up short, dropping a 3-2 decision.
It was also Fehr's second straight game with a shorthanded marker, and he made history in the process:

The win is Pittsburgh's fifth in a row and eighth in nine games. Remember when they were 0-3?
