The Pittsburgh Penguins will attempt their first playoff sweep since eight years when they meet the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in game four of their opening Stanley Cup playoff series. The Pens lead the best-of-seven series 3-0. Face-off is 7:38pm. Pre-game on WISR 680am is 7pm. The Pens are 5-5 in their past 10 game fours. The next victory for goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will be his 104th in the playoffs, and will break Tom Barrasso’s franchise record.
The Blue Jackets will be without rookie defenseman Zach Werenski for the remainder of the playoffs. He suffered facial fractures from a Phil Kessel shot in game three. Werenski actually returned to the ice initially after the injury, but had to sit out the overtime when swelling impeded his vision.
