The Pittsburgh Penguins sat tied with Columbus with less than 14 minutes left in overtime of the teams' first round playoff series.
Fleury is doing his job and then some for the Penguins right now. If both the fans and the players, stay focused, the Pittsburgh Penguins will no doubt be able to take this series easily. One of those three-plus game bans came during the 2011-12 postseason when Arron Asham was given four games for a cross-checking incident in the first round.
If the Blue Jackets even hope to get back into this series, they must figure out a way to get pucks past Fleury.
The Penguins look to continue their dominance and win their third straight game of these playoffs as they are looking very unsafe and every bit as good as they did to win the Cup past year and with a win here they can start booking their plans for the Eastern Conference semi-finals. While other road teams around the National Hockey League are securing wins in opposing arenas, the Blue Jackets played another disappointing game in which they barely threatened and looked overwhelmed by a superior opponent.
The Blue Jackets have rolled up 100 hits through two games.

They set a limit of two five-year terms for presidents and also allow the president to remain at the helm of a political party. The referendum campaign was highly divisive and heavily one-sided, with the "yes" side dominating the airwaves and billboards.
MONTREAL - Alexander Radulov scored at 18:34 of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a victory over the New York Rangers in Game 2 of the first-round series. Zach Werenski's goal increased Columbus' lead to 3-1 with a slap-shot.
Game three: Blackhawks at Predators - It is easy to focus on Chicago's sudden inability to score in 120 minutes to open the playoffs, armed with the likes of Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and more. "Just much of what we saw in the first few games, but teams are always a little extra motivated when they go back home". As the game ended, the Blue Jackets forward chased down Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl and delivered a pretty dirty play. They're taking turns so far in this series and the Blue Jackets haven't had an answer for it. That will change on Sunday, when the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series between the Jackets and Penguins shifts to Nationwide Arena. A lot of us have been in those games before.
Sure, many fans were shocked when his name never got called, but I bet those same fans are thanking their lucky stars he's still in the Steel City saving their team from what could've been a massive disaster Thursday night. We think Mike Sullivan and the Penguins probably know that, too.
The Blue Jackets' plan of attack has played into the strength of the Penguins to this point.
The defending champion Penguins will go for the sweep in Columbus on Tuesday night.
