Zach Werenski is the face of NHL playoff hockey

"Sid and the Kids" are growing up on the job.

It took 13 minutes of overtime Sunday, but the Penguins won Game 3 by a score of 5-4, taking a 3-0 lead in the series.

"They've stuck to their game plan and we've stuck to ours and it was a real tough test for us out there the second half of the game", Allen said.

And although Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella is not a fan of the players' kind of music, he wants to hear it booming throughout Nationwide Arena in Columbus after Game 4 tonight.

"I wanted them - some guys with limited playoff experience, some of them with none - just to try to enjoy a win", Tortorella said. They came out with a lot of urgency. I think we're just trying to read off each other.

The game went to overtime, and by then, Werenski could no longer see out of his eye.

The hope was that he'd be good to go once the swelling went down, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Evengi Malkin and Patric Hornqvist added goals in the third. Even though they got run under again early on, they showed that they can turn up the heat on Columbus and make things miserable for prolonged stretches of time.

Brandon Saad scored for Columbus, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots.

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. Penguins G Matt Murray remained out for the fourth straight game with a lower-body injury sustained before the series opener.

It has been quiet, far too quiet in the Columbus Blue Jackets' dressing room lately. Veteran D Kyle Quincey, a midseason pickup in a trade with the New Jersey Devils, took Werenski's place. Daley moved the puck down the boards, Conor Sheary pushed it deep, and Guentzel moved down from above the goal line to keep it on the boards to the left of the net.

After racing out to a 3-0 lead in round one - scoring three, four, and five goals respectively - it certainly doesn't appear that the Penguins are missing anybody up front.

Columbus, one of the more physical teams in the league, briefly lost its cool late. Calvert sat in the press box Sunday night, serving a one-game penalty for breaking a stick over the back of Pittsburgh's Tom Kuhnhackl and then decking him after the game was out of reach Friday night. Boone Jenner and Scott Harrington received misconduct penalties after the final horn. It helped. They were able to maintain pressure pretty much all evening, and while the Penguins had their moments, they never seized momentum in the second and third periods the way they did in the first three games of the series. It hasn't been a one-team-dominant series to this point.
