Put away your brooms people, we won't be witnessing a sweep in this year's Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup hasn't experienced a sweep since the '98 Finals when the Detroit Red Wings dominated the Washington Capitals.

The Rangers picked up their first victory of the series in a 2-1 win in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.

The Rangers struck first with a goal from Benoit Pouliot just seven minutes into the period. The second period was exciting, hard hitting, and both teams found the net. Martin St. Louis scored his eighth goal of the postseason giving the Rangers a 2-0 lead. The Rangers led 2-0 in games one and two and lost both of them, so fans knew not to get ahead of themselves.

Just two minutes later, Dustin Brown scored and the Kings trailed by just one goal. It looked as if the Rangers were going to choke yet again. Heading into the third period, the Stanley Cup Trophy was being polished with a possibility of being hoisted by the Kings. Rangers netminder Henrick Lundqvist had other ideas.

In the third and final period, the Kings dominated the Rangers in offense. Shots favored the Kings in the third, 15-1. Although the Rangers didn't score a goal, neither would the Kings as several chances would come within inches of tying the game.

There's no doubt the Most Valuable Player of Game 4 was.

Overall, the Kings outshot the Rangers 41-19. How often does a team get outshot by 22 and still win? For the first time this series, the Rangers looked like the more physical team as they would outhit the Kings 32-27. For the Rangers, they can't look at this like a seven game series. Instead, they must play it one game at a time.

If the Kings can win game five, they will hoist the Stanley Cup in front of more than 18,000 fans in Los Angeles.

Game 5 will be played back at the Staples Center Friday night at 9:00 EST.
