Columbus fan's shirt features Werenski's beat-up face
This Blue Jackets-Penguins series has the two fan bases competing in strange ways.
After a photo of a fan who got a tattoo of Phil Kessel riding a hot dog while holding the Stanley Cup went viral, the Blue Jackets faithful answered the call.
Ahead of Game 4, the supporter below was seen sporting a T-shirt with a stretched image of Zach Werenski's bruised face after he was hit by a Kessel shot in Game 3.

While the shirt may be a tribute to this fan's favorite player, it's also a painful reminder that Werenski is out for the playoffs due to the injury.
Of course, Blue Jackets fans - this one in particular - will hope for a win Tuesday night so they get to wear their game-day gear at least one more time.
