new jersey devils add some drama to stanley cup finals by beating la kings 3-1 - but still trail 1-3 in best-of-seven seriesonce again , the la kings could not manage the sweep t as they did against the st t louis blues and the phoenix coyotes , the kings fell short of a win in a crucial game 4 wednesday night , as the new jersey devils handed them a 3-1 loss and sent the stanley cup final series back to the east coast.but that the kings will now have to try to grab the cup on the road is probably not too much of a worry at this point t la has been unstoppable away from home this post-season , racking up ten straight road wins in the play-offs , with the last two coming in new jersey to start the this series t the kings and devils both gathered a handful of chances in the first 40 minutes wednesday night , but the longer the game went without a first goal , the more it felt like an extended overtime period t the kings were able to keep some continued pressure on new jersey in the offensive zone , but didn't look like the dominating team the fans in la have come to appreciate in the past few weeks t that hesitation manifested itself even in their physical play , which appeared dialed back , perhaps out of a fear of drawing a penalty and dropping the first goal t that didn't happen until the third period when new jersey's patrick elias opened the scoring as he popped in a rebound at the side of the kings' net , putting a stop to kings' goalie jonathan quick's consecutive shutout minutes at 139 t the kings tied it moments later on the power play , when defenceman drew doughty fired a shot from the point that redirected and slipped through brodeur's five hole t but a few minutes later , the devils' adam henrique notched what would eventually be the game-winner t it looked like this:.the kings had a few chances in the closing minutes of the third , including a breakaway from dustin penner , but couldn't make anything work t ilya kovalchuk added an empty-netter as the seconds wore down , and the freshly-polished stanley cup was loaded back into its travel case , bound for the other side of the continent.the devils looked better in game 4 , but were still guilty of a few neutral zone giveaways and taking foolish penalties (one that led to the doughty goal) t they benefited from brodeur's stellar play and a kings team that looked jittery out of the gate t la has not been the best at grabbing a solid first period start during the playoffs , and were not getting the bounces come their way wednesday t one shot early in the game rang off the post behind brodeur , but not before the entire crowd and the goal light were fooled t the win gives a bit of life to a series that looked like a fait accompli , and one that has failed to garner the kind of attention the nhl would have liked (or perhaps have earned had the new york rangers been successful in getting to the final) t the first two games of the series were unable to attract more than 3 million eyeballs each in the us t as internet meme site buzzfeed pointed out earlier this week , that means even sitcom reruns featuring david spade were getting more attention t in other words , what this series needed was some energy and an unforeseen plot twist – you know , the stuff that makes for good tv t wednesday night , it might have just got a bit of that.game 5 will go saturday in newark at 8pm et.nhlus sportscolin horganguardian.co.uk
