POLL: Can the Devils Pull Out A Championship?
The pressure is shifting in the Stanley Cup finals — or is it?
Many hockey fans thought the Stanley Cup finals could have been over earlier this week with the Los Angeles Kings winning their fourth game Wednesday, ending the playoffs.
But the New Jersey Devils weren't going to be forgotten that easily.
Down three games to zero, the Devils came back to win on Wednesday with a score of 3-1, forcing another game between the two NHL teams at Newark's Prudential Center. Then, Saturday night, the Devils rose to the occasion again, besting the Kings 2-1 and sending the series back to Los Angeles.
