You just can't make this stuff up.
Patric Hornqvist was playing with a broken finger when he scored with less than two minutes left in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday night, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
The Pittsburgh Penguins forward banked the puck off Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne with 1:35 remaining to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead, and Pittsburgh held on for a 2-0 victory to clinch its second consecutive championship.
Hornqvist missed six of the Penguins' 25 playoff games this spring, but still managed to notch five goals and nine points in the postseason.
