Penguins fan gets kidney transplant after seeking donors with sign at game

Pittsburgh Penguins fan Kelly Sowatsky can thank a hockey game for helping save her life.

She was in dire need of a kidney transplant and was on a long waiting list when she went to a Penguins game on March 31 and brought a sign advertising for donors that include a phone number contact.

According to the Penguins' website, Sowatsky, 31, had done the same thing at a New Jersey Devils game two days earlier.
