The Kings remained road warriors on Saturday night when they bested the Devils once again in overtime. Los Angeles's 2-1 victory continued their undefeated reign on the road during the 2012 postseason.
Now leading the series, 2-0, the Kings have an opportunity to sweepNew Jersey. Should they win their two home games this coming week, they will have enjoyed a perfect postseason on the road. They have already made history, as no other team has gone 10-0 away from their home building in the chase for the Stanley Cup.
Jeff Carter notched the winning score on a struggling Devils crease minder. Martin Brodeur has allowed two goals in each of the Finals two contests thus far. Kings goalie Johnathan Quick has been more prudent, allowing only a goal each per matchup. Quick's save percentage of .970 bests Brodeur's mark by .32
But Brodeur is not nearly the Devils biggest woe. New Jersey has been unable to muster a respectable offense, even during power plays. Thus, the future Hall of Fame goaltender's 30 saves were not enough to negate the respectable 2 scores.
