The best goaltender in the regular season, Bobrovsky has been ordinary at best in the first three games of a series against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
He made a awful gaffe behind the net in Game 2, which led to the opening goal after the Blue Jackets had dominated much of the first period.
Patric Hornqvist, Ron Hainsey, Tom Kuhnhackl and Jake Guentzel scored goals for the Penguins. Outside of his performance in Game 3, he made things easy on Pittsburgh's offense, which has scored 12 goals in the series, averaging four goals a game. We've got to be ready to play and we've got to win a hockey game. Calvert didn't want to talk about the play Monday, but he did say it wasn't payback for anything that happened in the game. With the other series in the East being neck and neck, and the Penguins eventual second-round opponent playing an unexpected two consecutive OT games to start the series, the Penguins have a great opportunity to help their own cause by disposing of the Blue Jackets in short order. He also couldn't corral Malkin's sharp-angle shot in the same game that produced the third goal in a 3-1 loss. "Then, we can decide how we approach the rest of the series from there".
Savard was probably doing what he was assigned to do, but it's probably not a wise move to let the best player in the world move freely behind the goal with the game - and probably your season - on the line.
Unfortunately for the Blue Jackets, staying healthy might be the most important part of this next game. "I think a little bit of a deciding factor in Game 3 was they had the puck more, a lot more than the first two games".

We wanted to make him amusing and a relatable entry point into this world. "He's huge and heavy, but with a light soul". This wouldn't be the first time Waititi will be making an appearance in his own project.
The Grosse Pointe native played two seasons for the Wolverines from 2014-16 and had 20 goals and 41 assists in 71 games.
The Oilers have found a new playoff hero in their first postseason trip since 2006. Coming back from 3-0 in a series has been done before, and it can be done again. "He's stepped up to the plate and delivered for three games straight. He's been tremendous for us".
About a minute later, Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov misplayed the puck along the boards and Fast grabbed the loose puck and slid it through the legs of Price for an unassisted goal at 11:39 to open the scoring.
After Tuesday's five-goal outing, in fact, the Blue Jackets have piled on nine in their last two after scoring just two goals in the opening pair of series showdowns. San Jose is just 1 for 14 on the power play this series and has scored on just three of 83 shots. "In these one-goal hockey games, we have to stick one in the net".
