Outlook:
The Devils look like the team that won the Cup in 1995. They have lost only twice in the playoffs giving up only 15 goals in ten games. Scott Stevens' physical play has been one of the keys to the Devils' defense that once again is getting great support from their forwards.

The Flyers just keep getting bad news. Eric Lindros might be out for the season and Keith Primeau's status in unknown as he continues to recover from a devastating hit in Game 6 against Toronto. So far the Flyers have been uneffected by all the drama going around the team, but against New Jersey that might not matter. The Devils just look too good right now.

Prediction:
Devils in six.
