NEWARK, N. Jeremiah Attaochu Jersey .J. - The New Jersey Devils are off to a solid start, thanks in part to a diversified offensive attack. So far this season, 17 players have already scored a goal.Defenceman Adam Larsson, who has played in only three of New Jerseys 11 games this season, was the latest to score when he gave the Devils the lead with 9:25 left en route to a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the slumping Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.The 21-year-old Larsson, the No. 4 pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, capped a comeback in which the Devils (6-3-2) erased a 2-1 deficit in a span of 1:41.Larsson took a pass from captain and fellow defenceman Bryce Salvador and snapped a shot past goalie Anton Forsberg, who made his NHL debut.Im very happy to get a good play there, Larsson said. I got the puck and saw a lot of room in front of me. I saw a lot of the net open, so I shot it.It was a good feeling for me. We have seven good defencemen on this team, and we can all score. We just have to keep it up.Earlier in the third period, 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.Jagr was a little upset with the Devils play in the first two periods.How many times can we expect to come back like that? said Jagr, referring to the previous two New Jersey victories in which third-period deficits were erased.The Devils defeated Winnipeg in a shootout on Thursday night after entering the third period trailing by a goal.We have to look at it in a positive way, but we didnt play well for the first two periods, Jagr said. The third period, we put it together. We can make things go a lot easier if we just play the right way.Cory Schneider made 32 saves for the Devils.He was our best player again, Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. Weve been able to get some good wins because of him lately. Look at all the good teams, and theyre the ones who are getting the best goaltending. We needed this win.Jack Skille and Nick Foligno scored for the Blue Jackets (4-7), who lost their fifth straight game.Its disappointing because we had a 2-1 lead in the third period and couldnt finish, Columbus coach Todd Richards said. We did everything right for two periods and end up on the wrong side. We made a couple of mistakes, and they won the game.Columbus grabbed a 1-0 lead when Skille scored just 1:06 into the game. Skille took a great pass from the recently recalled Brian Gibbons and fired it past Schneider.In the second period, just eight seconds after Blue Jackets right wing Jared Boll was sent off for hooking, Zidlicky fired in a wrist shot after skating in untouched.The Blue Jackets regained the lead, again on a power play. With Travis Zajac off for hooking, Jack Johnson timed a perfect pass to Foligno, who was set up just outside the crease. Foligno got the puck and slapped it past Schneider with 7:30 left in the period.Foligno later left the ice after he was hit in the face with a puck. He skated off the ice on his own, but went straight to the dressing room for evaluation. Foligno returned for the third period.The Blue Jackets lost rookie defenceman Cody Goloubef to an apparent knee injury late in the game. Goloubef was helped off the ice, and his playing status is unknown.NOTES: Devils LW Mike Cammalleri didnt play for the third straight game.

He also left them with a vacancy in their starting lineup. So far, sophomore Terrence Ross has been the primary beneficiary. "It [is] probably the biggest opportunity of my career," the Raptors second-year guard said of his new role in the teams starting five. "Just taking advantage of it [and] making sure I capitalize on things is big for me." Ross promotion is one that came together organically in the aftermath of the Gay trade. He had been clamouring for more playing time, according to Casey, but Ross insists he never formally asked the coach to start. "I kind of just knew when Rudy left it was kind of like, okay we only have me and Landry [Fields] so one of us is going to start," he recounted after Monday mornings practice. "So either way, [I was] going to get big minutes. I just knew it was an opportunity for me to go out there and show what I can do." On the eve of the trade, Casey opted to start the more experienced Fields at the three-spot. Fields played 31 scoreless minutes in Los Angeles that night and has logged less than 20 minutes in three games since. Ross, the next man
