The Cup Is In The Building – Kings Look to Sweep Rangers Wednesday Night<\/strong><\/p>\n The New York Rangers were put on the brink of a disheartening Stanley Cup Final series loss Monday night in a game that they should have won. Now the Broadway Blueshirts have to regroup and do something that only four teams in NHL history have done – come back to win four straight games after losing the first three of a series. <\/p>\n Los Angeles (61-35-4-6) at NY Rangers (57-39-6-3)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Insight<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0CappersPicks Insider Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n New York doesn’t have to look very far to find the team that last accomplished that feat – the Kings did it in Round 1 against San Jose.<\/p>\n You’d have to think that the Rangers will be in tough to win just one game in the series – Jonathan Quick looks as though he is finally rounding into form and the Kings as a team played their worst game of the series but still escaped with a 3-0 win Monday.<\/p>\n We finally got to see the Jonathan Quick that we have all come to admire on Monday night – he made 32 saves, many of the dazzling variety and stole the game for LA. Prior to Monday’s game Quick had just a .907 save percentage in the Final but after a shutout in Game 3 he now has a more recognizable .938 save percentage in the series.<\/p>\n All LA`s offense did was put three past Henrik Lundqvist in Game 3 – below their playoff average but far above their regular season average.<\/p>\n The team has now scored 47 goals in 13 games on the road in the playoffs – 3.6 per game – impressive indeed. The Kings had eight different goal scorers in the first two games of the series and on Monday three different players scored while seven players recorded at least a point.<\/p>\n Balance has been the order of the day for the Kings – they are killing the Rangers with depth, efficiency and their strong physical play. New York’s power play continues to let the team down as well – they went 0-for-6 Monday night and continue to fail to convert on the few opportunities given them.<\/p>\n The Rangers have gone just 1-for-14 with the man advantage in the series with no real cause for optimism. But outshooting the Kings 32-15 in Game 3 should have produced a positive result.<\/p>\n Chris Kreider has one point in his last four games, Martin St. Louis has just a single point in five games, Rick Nash and Mark Staal are pointless in four games and Dan Girardi hasn`t hit the score sheet in five games.<\/p>\n Henrik Lundqvist is struggling for sure but he certainly isn`t getting any help from an offense that has gone cold at precisely the wrong time.<\/p>\n Help could come in the form of agitator Daniel Carcillo from suspension on Wednesday night. He could provide a much needed spark albeit a little too little, a little too late.<\/p>\n A few trends to consider:<\/strong> Of the nine Stanley Cup Final series to start 3-0 since 1982, eight have finished in a sweep – not a good sign for the Rangers. Despite saying all the right things ahead of Game 4 the wind has been completely and utterly taken out of New York`s sails.<\/p>\n Although there is a chance that the Rangers rally one last time, one goal against may just break their spirit. The Kings are a team of destiny – my guess is that they end it all Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Pick<\/strong>: LA Kings +126<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kings vs Rangers Finals Betting?

\nI said it before and I will say it again – for the Rangers to have a fighting chance Henrik Lundqvist has to be the best player on the ice. Three goals on 15 shots in Game 3 tell the story. Sure two of the three goals deflected off his own players but still King Henrik has not stolen a game for the Rangers yet and has given up 11 goals in the first three games of the series – hence the 3-0 hole.<\/p>\nDave’s FREE NHL Betting Prediction<\/h3>\n
