Expect Seven Games, And Maybe a Bit More No way this series can be as fantastic as their matchup in 1994, the last time these two met in the conference finals - but who knows? Martin Brodeur (.920 save percentage in the playoffs) is at his best in years, yet Henrik Lundqvist (.937) may be the best in the game right now. The Rangers" top four defensemen (Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal, Michael Del Zotto) are far more impressive than the Devils" top four (Bryce Salvador, Marek Zidlicky, Andy Greene, Mark Fayne), though Salvador is an eye-opening plus 8 in the playoffs. The Devils" big advantage is at forward, where Ilya Kovalchuk (five goals, seven assists) paces an attack that has averaged 2.81 goals per 60 minutes this spring. The Rangers have averaged just 1.95 goals per 60 minutes. Up front, the Devils also have Zach Parise, Travis Zajac, David Clarkson and Adam Henrique, the rookie who scored in overtime of Game 7 at Florida. But the Rangers have Brad Richards, the former Conn Smythe winner who delivered clutch goals against Washington and Ottawa. The Rangers and the Devils split their fight-filled regular-season series, and it seems dead even now, too. Will it come down to Game 7 overtime, as it did in "94? If so, who will be this year's Stephane Matteau? Perhaps that final edge goes to Coach John Tortorella's superbly conditioned team. Rangers in 7 - in double overtime.
