Devils, Kings Matchup A Classic Battle Of Like-Styled Clubs
Two clubs with very similar styles will commence their battle for the Stanley Cup beginning Wednesday, and the battle to control the walls, dominate territorial play via the forecheck, and getting traffic in front of the opposing goalie may all end up being contributing factors for the eventual victor.

Stanley Cup Finals Schedule 2012: New Jersey Devils Have Home-Ice Edge Vs. Los Angeles Kings
The 2012 Stanley Cup Finals are set. With the New Jersey Devils victory over the New York Rangers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday night, they've clinched the Prince of Wales Trophy and will host the Los Angeles Kings, holders of the Clarence Campbell Bowl as Western champs, in Game 1 of the Finals on Wednesday.
The Devils earned the home-ice advantage by virtue of owning a better regular season record. New Jersey finished the regular season with 102 points compared to L.A.'s 95.

Stanley Cup Final Schedule 2012: Los Angeles Kings Will Travel East For Game 1
On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Phoenix Coyotes in overtime to clinch the Western Conference title and advance to the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup final. The Kings will now get to sit back and watch the series between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils resolve itself before they know where they'll be heading to kick off the final hockey series of the postseason.
The Kings will be ceding home ice in the playoffs, but I don't think that matters much to Los Angeles; they are currently undefeated on the road in the playoffs ... and they haven't held home ice advantage in any series.
The full schedule:
| Gm | Date | Time | Location | TV Network |
| 1 | Wednesday, May 30 | 8 p.m. ET | Kings at East | NBC, CBC, RDS |
| 2 | Saturday, June 2 | 8 p.m. ET | Kings at East | NBC, CBC, RDS |
| 3 | Monday, June 4 | 8 p.m. ET | East at Kings | NBCSN, CBC, RDS |
| 4 | Wednesday, June 6 | 8 p.m. ET | East at Kings | NBCSN, CBC, RDS |
| 5* | Saturday, June 9 | 8 p.m. ET | Kings at East | NBC, CBC, RDS |
| 6* | Monday, June 11 | 8 p.m. ET | East at Kings | NBC, CBC, RDS |
| 7* | Wednesday, June 13 | 8 p.m. ET | Kings at East | NBC, CBC, RDS |
