There will be no sweep in the Stanley Cup Finals.
That's because the New Jersey Devils summoned up enough to take down the LA Kings, in Los Angeles, 3-1 late Wednesday night. The 3 goals, were more than the Devils had been able to score the previous 3 games...combined.
Patrick Elias, Adam Henrique and Ilya Kovalchuk all put the biscuit in the basket in the 3rd period and it was more than enough to overcome the single Kings goal by Drew Doughty. Both goalies stopped 21 shots as offense has been tough to find throughout the series.
Already, the "Experts" on the morning sports shows are saying the Devils can still come back and win the series, but it would take an effort of monumental proportions. Teams just don't give up 3-0 series leads and we'd be shocked if the Kings did that.
But at least New Jersey got a win and made things competitive, at least for another night.
Game 5 is Saturday night in New Jersey.
