The veteran defenseman was injured in Game 5 of the conference semifinal against Nashville. He has two assists and is a plus-4 in 10 playoff games.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, if the Kings do win, they'll become the first team to go undefeated away from home ice on their way to the Stanley Cup finals under the current playoff format. "We've got to win this next game," said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty. "We gave them hope [Sunday] night. We let them back into the series, making it 3-1. So this next game is huge. ... "We've got to play our best game."

He logged a postseason-low 11:39 of ice time, but he did collect an assist on Ruslan Fedotenko's first goal of the spring in the third period. Del Zotto was playing in his first game since his grandmother passed away over the weekend and he saw just one shift in the second period. "It was a struggle for him," coach John Tortorella said. "He hasn't had many games like that this year. With the extra D we dressed, we just wanted to take a little pressure off him and let him watch for a bit." Stu Bickel started the game as a forward, but played on the back end when Del Zotto was benched. The 21-year-old defender will look to refocus and rebound in Game 5 on Wednesday.

His last game took place on April 3rd but he said he "felt good" coming back in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers. "My body felt great. My legs felt really good," said Josefson, who skated between Alexei Ponikarovsky and David Clarkson on the third line. "It was so much to be out there. I've been waiting for this day since I got the injury. It was real nice." He finished the contest with two shots and a plus-1 rating, while winning nine of his 14 faceoffs. Josefson replaced Petr Sykora, who sat as a healthy scratch, in the lineup.

Parise was all over the place in this game, also finishing with a game-high plus-three rating. He set up the Devils' second goal by Travis Zajac in the first period, then banked home the rebound at the front of the net on an Ilya Kovalchuk shot in the third. He also added the empty-netter. Bryce Salvardor had the first goal of the game, a wrister that went through all kinds of traffic in front to beat Henrik Lundqvist, and he also had an assist. Six different New Jersey players had assists, including Martin Brodeur on the the empty-net goal. Ryan Carter finished with 12 penalty minutes.

Fasth's deal is one-way and he'll reportedly earn $1 million. He's the heavy favorite to enter the 2012-13 campaign as Jonas Hiller's understudy. He had a 2.12 GAA and .931 save percentage in 46 Swedish Elite League games in 2011-12.

McBain's contract will reportedly come with a $1.8 million annual cap hit. McBain had eight goals and 27 points in 76 games in his second full NHL season. He was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer.
