The Pittsburgh Penguins play the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday in Game 4 of the 2014 NHL playoffs. The game begins at 7:00 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream below.
The first-round series is 2-1 after the Penguins' win on Monday. Pittsburgh scored three goals in the third period to rally and win Game 3, 4-3. The three goals - from Brandon Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Jussi Jokinen - all came within the span of 2:13 in the third, helping Pittsburgh overcome a late two-goal deficit.
"It's not ideal, especially when it's 2-1 and you fall behind (by two goals) again," Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby told the Associated Press after the game. "Typically, it's not the way you win hockey games. But it showed a lot of character and a lot of patience."
Stempniak is among Pittsburgh's supporting cast who will be expected to step up and take advantage of Columbus' defense honing in on other Penguin players.
"Obviously, Sid and Gino (Malkin) and Kuni and James Neal are going to get a lot of the attention, a lot of the tougher matchups," Stempniak said. "It sort of comes down to the secondary scoring and the other players who can make a difference in the series."
Columbus will rely on another stout defensive performance by forward Brandon Dubinsky, who has kept Crosby scoreless through the first three games.
"Duby relishes the big moments," teammate Mark Letestu said. "His game is built for the playoffs. You can see at any moment that he's head-first into it."
