Fifteen of Columbus' 18 skaters had a shot on goal and the Blue Jackets outhit the Bruins 53-28, with everyone but Panarin getting at least one. Seth Jones had five blocked shots and Scott Harrington had three.
The Blue Jackets were 2-for-2 on the penalty kill, but they spent only 2:17 killing because Josh Anderson negated a Boston power play at 11:35 of the third period with a shorthanded rush to the net that led to a Patrice Bergeron tripping penalty.
Columbus is 9-for-10 on the penalty kill in the series and 3-for-11 on the power play.
"I'm just so happy for the guys," Foligno said. "We've been through a lot as a group here. We've been doubted. There's been a lot that has gone on here. What is this team going to be? How is it going to go? You're seeing guys just throw it all behind them and just play and have fun and become a team. As the leader on the team, that's something I'm most proud of, more than anything, just seeing how we're coming together as a group here, having a blast and pulling for each other. … After goals, after wins, guys are just pumped for each other. When you have that, that's a dangerous thing to have. It's something we need to keep building on each game."
The next step is to park the celebration when they arrive for practice Wednesday so they can do it all over again in Game 4 in Columbus on Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS).
"That's a huge opportunity for us," Duchene said.
