Eastern Conference Final Game 4 Preview: New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils, 8 p.m. ET.
The Devils have been shutout twice through three games against Henrik Lundqvist. If they're going to get back into the series, they'll need to figure out how to score goals again or go down 3-1 heading back to MSG. Jacob Joseson, who's been out since April 3 with an injured wrist, will replace Petr Sykora in the New Jersey lineup. Stu Bickel is expected to be the guy filling in for the suspended Brandon Prust, while Brandon Dubinsky said his ankle is getting better. He's been out of the lineup since the beginning of Round 2.

Puck Buddy Comment of the Day: "JZarris" on LA's trouble with the Kings:
"At this point I'm beginning to think all the local news producers are purposefully trolling the Kings. What else could it be?"
Bad PR is still PR, right?
Bold prediction: Devils even things up with a double overtime victory. Dainius Zubrus is the hero.
