The clock is not only ticking on the Devils’ season, but on Zach Parise’s career in New Jersey, for when the puck is dropped tonight for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, it will start the countdown at T-minus-60 on the captain’s impending unrestricted free agency.
The clock can be stopped for at least 72 more hours if the Devils can find a way to derail the Kings’ runaway train and bring the series back to the Rock for Game 5 on Saturday by becoming the third team in NHL history and the first since the 1945 Red Wings to win a Game 4 on the road when down 3-0 in the Finals.
