The New Jersey Devils are now 1 win away from moving on to the Stanley Cup Finals with a 5-3 win over the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Devils came out firing in the first 15 minutes, scoring 3 goals on 5 shots by Stephen Gionta, Patrick Elias & Travis Zajac. The Rangers began a comeback with a late 1st Period Goal by Brandon Prust. 32 seconds into the 2nd Period, Ryan Callahan would bring the Rangers within 1 with a goal. The Rangers tied the game at 3, 17 seconds into the 3rd Period with a goal by Marian Gaborik. With under 5 minutes left in the game, Ryan Carter scored to put the Devils up 4-3 and an empty netter by Zach Parise ended the scoring in this one.
Game 6 is tonight & if this year is like 1994 then May 25 should see the Rangers tie the series. We'll have to see tonight at 8 on the NBC SportsNetwork.
The winner of this series will face the LA Kings, who won the Western Conference Finals over the Phoenix Coyotes 4 games to 1.
