The Columbus Blue Jackets evened their series with the Pittsburgh Penguins thanks to a come-from-behind, 4-3 overtime win. Nick Foligno scored the winner.
The Penguins scored their three goals in five minutes in the first period, jumping out to a 3-0 lead. The Blue Jackets chipped away at their lead, scoring with 23 seconds left in the third period - thanks to a gaffe by Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury - to send the game to overtime.
Game 5 will be played in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Star Performer
The Blue Jackets got back into the game with the help of two power-play goals, and Fleury, and the game was sent to overtime where Nick Foligno scored just 2:49 in. An overtime goal in the playoffs means he's the hero. (An honorable mention goes out to Brandon Dubinsky, who assisted on the Blue Jackets' second goal, and scored the game-tying goal.)
Turning Point
With only 30 seconds remaining, Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury fell victim to a bouncing puck and found himself in no man's land. Brandon Dubinsky scored on the open net to send the game to overtime.

Highlight Reel
The Penguins may have scored all their goals of Game 4 in the first period, but the third looked like the nail in the coffin. As they played tic-tac-toe around the Blue Jackets, forward James Neal scored his first of the playoffs.
