Devils goalie Martin Brodeur says there is no panic and no drop in confidence as Game 4 approaches.

But he acknowledges the importance of Monday night's game at the Prudential Center.

"There are these crossroads that you have in series," Brodeur said. "You just have to pick your head up and do what you do. We're all in this together. We're having a blast being in the conference finals. We're not going to let it go that easy. I thought we played well in all three games. We just have to figure out how to get the bounces on our side."

"We're fortunate to be in this situation. I think it's been a good series. I thought we played some good hockey. Just couldn't score a goal last game. That made it kind of tough on us to win that hockey game.

"We just have to stay upbeat. If we can't do that, we're in trouble. It's important for us not to panic and just do what we do."

Brodeur has consistently praised Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist.

"He's impressive," Brodeur said. "The combination of the way players are playing in front of him, him making the big saves, controlling his game. What can you say? He's been good and we expected that. He's not surprising anybody. He's not surprising me. I knew he was that good.

• Devils' Martin Brodeur: We're having a blast but series has reached a crossroad

"We have to find a way. We found a way against (J.S.) Giguere in '03. We'll find a way against him."

Is the combination of Lundqvist and the Rangers' defense the most difficult Brodeur has seen in his playoff career?

"I don't know about my career, but I think they're definitely a tough team to get through," Brodeur said. "We had a lot of odd-man rushes and we had 36 shots on net. We did a lot of good things. We just couldn't put the puck past him."
