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.

Ain't Nuthin' Better Than A Game 7
Unless it's two Game 7's- spaced about 90 minutes apart for the sake of television...
The last two Eastern Conference spots were locked up with the following wins...
The New York Rangers held on in a 2-1 win over Ottawa...
The last 10 minutes of regulation were must-see TV, and with Doc Emrick calling it the game was what it was...
Electric...
Marc Staal and Dan Girardi scored for the Broadway Blues... and the HQ doubts anyone had them in the pool...
((HT: NHL on NBC))
The other game would have given the Florida Panthers their first series win since their Stanley Cup run in 1996... didn't happen, but the game went into the fifth period before a winner was decided. It was a busy night for Adam Henrique...
((HT: CNBC/NHL Network/NHL))
This sets up the semi-finals with the 5,6, and 7 seeds advancing out of the East with the 8th seeded LA Kings making it from the West first round...
By the way, lower level tickets for the Round 2 opener at MSG are going from $108-$420 per seat... just so ya know...
