Late goals keep Devils alive in NHL
A REMARKABLE rookie and a 40-year-old goalie have kept this Stanley Cup series alive, helping the New Jersey Devils beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 on Wednesday night to avoid a sweep in the finals.
Adam Henrique scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:29 to play and Martin Brodeur made 21 saves for the Eastern Conference champion Devils, who forced the NHL to pack up the Cup for another cross-country trip before they host Game 5 on Saturday night.
Patrik Elias and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored third-period goals for the Devils, who lost the first three games of the series.
"It's a tough situation, but we live another day," Brodeur said. "We wanted to at least have one more game in our building for our fans. Hopefully, we'll make the best of it and come back here."
The Kings have won all 10 of their road playoff games and 12 straight overall, both NHL postseason records. But after never trailing in the Stanley Cup finals, the Kings never led in Game 4.
After two tense, scoreless periods in front of fans hoping to see the Kings win their first title in their 45-year history, Elias scored on a rebound with 12:04 to play, but Drew Doughty scored a tying power-play goal for the Kings 1:02 later.
