The Penguins allowed a goal in the first 11 seconds and three goals in seven minutes at a hostile Nationwide Arena in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs on Sunday. Rust then tied the score at 13:25 when he took a cross-ice pass from Evgeni Malkin just to the left of the crease and the puck squirted under Bobrovsky's pads after it appeared he had made a stop. If both the fans and the players, stay focused, the Pittsburgh Penguins will no doubt be able to take this series easily.
He posted on Twitter a photo of his face after the game that showed his eye almost swollen shut.
Guentzel notched a hat trick, including the overtime game-winner, as the Penguins emerged with a 5-4 win in Game 3 to move within a game of eliminating the Blue Jackets.
"Just chances", Crosby said. His third goal gave the Penguins a 3-0 series lead and pushed Columbus to the brink of elimination.
Brandon Dubinsky had tied the score at 4 with 4:49 left in the third period when he punched in a rebound on a hard shot by Blue Jackets teammate Jack Johnson. In Game 2, they increased their output to nine, but still scored only once. "We have no choice but to get better and push back".

Shots on goal in general haven't been the issue thus far.
Now those Penguins appear to have a stranglehold on the series, and could close out the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.
Radulov, who got the overtime victor in Game 2 on Friday night after Tomas Plekanec tied it with 18 seconds left in regulation, has two goals and three assists in the past two games. One of those goals came when a puck bloodied Werenski's face but play wasn't stopped. The Pens are playing a young Columbus Blue Jackets team that has never won a playoff series, and it has shown.
Credit where credit is due, Guentzel played great and deserves plenty of credit for the Penguins' win, but it's also necessary to point out the incredible effort that Sidney Crosby put in along the boards to help set up that game-winning goal. "(Fleury) makes a big save in overtime that probably changed the game". "Putting pucks to the net and trying to get some bounces and see if we can turn the momentum".
The Penguins look to continue their dominance and win their third straight game of these playoffs as they are looking very risky 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.
