Posting a 3-1 victory in Los Angeles on Wednesday prevented the Kings’ coronation ceremony and forced the NHL to pack up the Cup and ship it back to New Jersey for Game 5 Saturday night.
Now comes the hard part for coach Peter DeBoer and the Devils. They have to follow it up with another win over a team that has posted a 15-3 mark in the postseason and not lost consecutive games.
If New Jersey can somehow find a way, though, the Cup will be up for grabs.
