NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Adam Larsson broke a tie with 9:25 left in the third period, and the New Jersey Devils earned a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the slumping Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
Larsson, who played in just his third game this season, capped a furious comeback in which the Devils (6-3-2) erased a 2-1 deficit in a span of 1:41.
Larsson snapped a shot past goalie Anton Forsberg, who made his NHL debut.
Earlier in the third, Adam Henrique scored a power play-goal — his fourth tally of the season — off an assist from Jaromir Jagr. Marek Zidlicky got New Jersey even at 1 with a power-play goal in the second period.
Jack Skille and Nick Foligno scored for the Blue Jackets (4-7), who lost their fifth straight game.
