The Penguins came to play in Game 3 as this was the best they looked during the entire series but the Bruins took over the game in overtime. The Bruins would win Game 3 with Patrice Bergeron scoring the game winning goal after a great effort by Jaromir Jagr and pass from Brad Marchand as Bergeron would tip the puck in the net past Penguins goalie Tomas Vokoun. Game 4 is on Friday and the Bruins can end this series then with a win.

The only bad news about this win was that Bruins Gregory Campbell was injured when he blocked a shot in the second period. There is a report out now that Campbell has a broken leg and will be out for the rest of the playoffs.
