FIRST ROUND POSTSEASON GUIDE For a complete Penguins-Blue Jackets series preview, plus updated bios, a look back at the 03-4 regular season and the complete Penguins playoff history, visit our First Round Playoff Guide: TEAM NOTES: COMEBACKS EVERYWHERE Much attention has been made about the fact that all four games in this series have featured the winning team overcoming a multiplegoal deficit on their way to victory. While this is the only series to feature four such games, teams coming from behind to win has been a league-wide trend thus far in Round according to the Elias Sports Bureau. There have already been nine instances where a team has overcome a multi-goal deficit to win in 34 games played. That is a record for the most such victories in the first round of the postseason, breaking the previous mark of eight established in 99. There were only eight such victories in the entire 03 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Overall, there have been 4 comeback wins in the 34 games contested thus far in the 04 Stanley Cup Playoffs (70.6%). A breakdown: * -goal comebacks: 5 * -goal comebacks: 8 * 3-goal comebacks: ONE-GOAL GAMES Not only have all four games featured comeback wins, but all four have been decided by just one goal. Games have been close leaguewide, as 0 of the first 34 (59%) contests this spring have been decided by one goal. Of the 8 playoff series that have been contested since 006, this is just the seventh series to have the first four or games be decided by one goal (*Every game in series decided by goal):

Of the 8 goals that have been scored thus far, 3 have come via special teams (46.4%). That s a far cry from the regular-season series when just six of the 3 goals (6%) were special-teams tallies. Below is a breakdown of how many special teams goals have been scored in this series versus the other seven around the NHL: Power-Play Goals: PGH/CBJ 9 (CBJ, 5;PGH, 4) Rest of NHL 37 % Coming from this series: 0% (9 of 46) Shorthanded Goals: PGH/CBJ 4 (PGH, ; CBJ, ) Rest of NHL 5 % Coming from this series: 44% (4 of 9) Total Special Teams Goals: PGH/CBJ 3 (CBJ, 7; PGH, 6) Rest of NHL 4 % Coming from this series: 4% (3 of 55) A huge reason why there have been so many special teams goals is because there have been more power-play opportunities in this series than any other: Teams Combined Power Plays Per Game PGH-CBJ 0.3 ANH-DAL 9. CHI-STL 8. PHI-NYR 7.8 HIGHEST SCORING SERIES The Penguins and Blue Jackets might be due for a low-scoring affair in Game 5. That s because entering tonight s games, the two teams have combined to average 7.0 goals per game, the second-highest scoring series of the opening round: Teams Total Goals Avg. LAK-SJS PGH-CBJ MTL-TBL CHI-STL 3 5.6

11 CAREER SERIES Penguins defenseman Paul Martin leads all NHL defensemen with eight points including a pair of assists in all four games thus far. His four-game point streak equals his postseason career long established twice previously. He is just the fourth Penguins defenseman since 99 to register eight or more points in a single playoff series: Name Year Round Opponent GP G A PTS Kris Letang 03 Ottawa Larry Murphy 995 Washington Larry Murphy 99 4 Minnesota Paul Martin 04 Columbus Larry Murphy 993 NY Islanders Larry Murphy 99 3 Boston DEFENSEMEN CONTINUE TO LEAD THE WAY Led by Paul Martin, Penguins defensemen have contributed 7 points (3G-4A) through the first four games of the series. That s six more combined points than Columbus D-men have amassed (3G-8-PTS).
