The Rangers didn't exactly play their best hockey throughout the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but that fact was covered up largely thanks to Henrik Lundqvist.

The Vezina trophy favorite was also the front-runner for the Conn Smythe trophy, but the Devils have gotten to the all-world goaltender, and because of that, the Devils are just one game from reaching the Stanley Cup Final.

The Rangers have been one of the league's best teams all year, and Lundqvist is certainly capable of straightening things out, so it's still too early to count the Rangers out, even if they do have their backs up against the wall heading back to New Jersey.
