St. Louis 3, Minnesota 1: Jaden Schwartz scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and Jake Allen made 40 saves to lead the Blues over the Wild in St. Louis for a 3-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.
The Penguins aren't about to become boastful despite owning a 3-0 series lead against the Blue Jackets.
After only scoring two goals combined in the first two games of the series, Columbus scored three goals in just over six minutes of the first period.
The Blue Jackets will be seeing some changes in their lineup. They've only made it three times in their 17 years of existence.
Evgeni Malkin scored his first goal of the postseason, and Patric Hornqvist pushed in an empty-net goal. So obviously, the chips are stacked completely in the Penguins' favor.
Crosby doesn't think Dubinsky or the Blue Jackets will take any liberties during Game 4, but it appears Dubinisky is preparing for a long, hard game and he plans to shut the line down.

The third goal, a result of deft manoeuvring by Sidney Crosby behind Columbus' net, was Guentzel's fourth of the playoffs and his 13th since February turned to March, dating to the regular season. "But certainly we're going to strive to get better in aspects of our game".
"It got to the point where he couldn't see", Tortorella said after the 4-3 overtime loss.
Auston Matthews and Nazem Kadri each had a goal and an assist, and William Nylander also scored for Toronto.

We've entered the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.
The problem though was that it was clear right away that Werenski was bleeding and the Penguins continued to control the puck. But if the Blue Jackets intend to build on a franchise-best regular season, Bobrovsky probably will need to slay his black-and-gold tormentors.
