The Los Angeles Kings will try to remain undefeated on the road this postseason and take a 2-0 lead over the New Jersey Devils in Game 2 Saturday night.
The New Jersey Devils will look to avoid a two-game hole on Saturday night at home in what will be a pivotal Game 2 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. The Devils lost in overtime on Wednesday night when Anze Kopitar beat Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur on a breakaway. The overtime goal continued the Kings' remarkable undefeated streak on the road during the 2012 NHL Playoffs.
A win would give Los Angeles a commanding 2-0 lead as the series shifts to Staples Center. Goalender Jonathan Quick, the catalyst for the No. 8 seed Kings' remarkable run through the Western Conference, allowed just one goal in Game 1, but faced only 17 shots. The Devils will need to generate more chances against Quick to even the series.
