Russell LaBounty / USA Today Sports

Keeping one's head in the game is paramount in the playoffs.

Marc-Andre Fleury used his mask to rob Brandon Dubinsky of a potential overtime winner in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night.

The importance of Fleury's improbable heads-up play was made even more evident when Penguins forward Jake Guentzel potted the winner about five minutes later.

Pittsburgh took a 3-0 series lead, with Game 4 scheduled for Tuesday night.
