The Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets series has been a tough one for both sides and Game 4 is coming on Wednesday night and the TV coverage is from the NBC Sports Network and the Live Extra website has the stream at 7 pm ET and comes as Sidney Crosby tries to give his team a commanding lead in the east first round series from Nationwide Arena.
The Penguins and Blue Jackets easily could have won every game in this series, meaning either team could have come out on top for how good the matchup have been and they have also played overtime games and the series have been high scoring as well. The team that had leads in the early part of games ended up losing it and in the process the Blue Jackets got their first ever playoff win as a franchise. The Penguins have had to come back multiple times and that has been a surprise for the second best team in the east.
The Blue Jackets arena has been packed and now the team has the chance to even things up and some of the best scorers for the Penguins have not found the net, including Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and that has to be troubling for the team heading into this game. The Penguins have the lead in this series, but they easily could be down 3-0 as much as they could be up 3-0 and now they have the chance to take a commanding lead in the series and this comes after the two teams played in Ohio on Monday night and that games aw the Penguins come back against from a deficit.
The schedule for the games on Wednesday has Pitt taking on Columbus in the early matchup and after that has the Dallas Stars hosting the Anaheim Ducks and that will be on CNBC and starts up at 8 pm. The Ducks lead that series 2-1 heading into Game 4, while the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks series is the same and they are up 2-1 and that game starts up at 9:30 pm ET. The matchups on Tuesday saw the Rangers take the lead over the Flyers and now they are up 2-1, while the Canadiens are now the first team into the second round after sweeping the lighting and one of the main reasons that happened was because Ben Bishop was out as the starting goalie and that left Anders Lindback to take over.
