NEWARK, N.J. — Moments after sending the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 2003, Adam Henrique skated to the corner and waited to be mobbed by his teammates.

Henrique scored off a wild scramble in front at 1:03 into overtime and the Devils eliminated the Rangers 3-2 to advance to the Cup finals against the Los Angeles Kings.

After beating Florida, Philadelphia and their biggest rivals, the Rangers, only the Kings stand in the way of a fourth Cup for New Jersey.

“It feels great to get to where we are,” Devils captain Zach Parise said. “As Adam said, we still have a lot of work ahead of us. But we’ve put ourselves in a pretty good position right now, and we’ve got a chance.

“We’ll see what we can do.”

This series win came against the Devils’ most intense rival.
