The New Jersey Devils have scored two goals in the Stanley Cup Finals. For the first time in those same Stanley Cup Finals, a team has scored two goals in a period — and, in a non-shocking turn of events, it’s the Los Angeles Kings, who scored twice in the second period of Game 3 to build a 2-0 lead heading into the final period.
