On Wednesday, the Rangers will try to keep their Stanley Cup championship goal alive after defeating Kings by a score of 2-1 on Wednesday night.

In Game 4, Rangers All-Star goalie Henrik Lundqvist had 40 saves in a terrific performance versus the Kings as Martin St. Louis and Benoit Pouliot both scored a goal and ensured the victory for New York.

The Rangers must win three consecutive games in order to win the Stanley Cup trophy this year. The Rangers are trying to be the second team in NHL history to overcome 0-3 deficit in order to win the championship. The Toronto Maple Leafs is the only team in history to accomplish that amazing feat versus the Detroit Red Wings in the 1942 Stanley Cup Finals.

"When everything is on the line, you just have to challenge yourself the right way," said Lundqvist to reporters. "You have to be focused. One mistake and the season is over. You're definitely aware of that."

The Kings will try to clinch their second ever Stanley Cup title at home versus the New York Rangers on June 13. In Game 4, Dustin Brown scored the only goal in a losing effort for the Kings.

"We wanted to close it out tonight and we weren't able to do it," said Kings' player Anze Kopitar to reporters after the game. "Now we have a desperate team coming into our building."
