Sidney Crosby gives the Blue Jackets a 1-0 lead.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have had a very rough time to start their first round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and down 0-3 heading into Game 4 they needed to catch a break.

They got exactly that early in the evening when Jack Johnson's shot from the point found the skate blade of Pittsburgh Penguin's captain Sidney Crosby and then found it's way into the back of the Penguins net.

There's no way Crosby could have seen the puck coming, and no way he could have known how it would bounce off his skate, but it almost looks as if he positioned himself perfectly to make the play.

Here's a look at the replay:
