NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils took advantage of another late start by the Tampa Bay Lightning in wrapping a fruitful homestand.Adam Henrique and Damon Severson set each other up for first-period goals and the Devils beat Tampa Bay 3-1 on Saturday night, ending a five-game losing streak against the Lightning.Cory Schneider had 32 saves following a rare night off and Devante Smith-Pelly got his first goal of the season, helping New Jersey rebound from an overtime loss to Chicago on Friday. Henrique scored his 100th career goal and New Jersey finished its homestand 3-0-1.One-hundred goals, its great, Henrique said. If you told me that years ago that I would have been there one day, who knows if I would have believed you or not, but it was nice to get that one.The Devils finally made an early lead stand. Coming into this game, they were 0-2-1 when scoring first, including a 3-2 loss Friday.In years past, dont know if we win this game or not, Schneider said. So it shows signs of some growth and some new faces and young guys in the lineup who will go through struggles, but they seem ahead of the curve here and learning quickly and thats great for our team.Tyler Johnson scored in the third period for Tampa Bay, which has lost two straight. Andrei Vasilevskiy had 20 saves and lost for the first time in three starts this year.Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said the team has played poorly in the opening period all season.

We knew that going in and we still didnt start the game right.New Jersey jumped ahead 3:57 into the first. Severson made a long stretch pass to Henrique near the Lightning blue line, and the center avoided a check entering the zone and broke in alone before beating Vasilevskiy with a snap shot.A little less than 10 minutes later, the two players combined again. The Lightning had trouble clearing the puck, and Henrique eventually got it between the circles and fired a shot on goal. Vasilevskiy stopped the shot, but Severson had come down from the point and tapped the rebound into an open net for a 2-0 lead.When the teams met earlier this season in Florida, the Lightning rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.This time, the Devils didnt give it away. Schneider made two good saves on Stamkos and a couple on Vladislav Namestnikov to keep Tampa Bay off the board.Smith-Pelly made it 3-0 early in the second, tipping a pass from the corner by rookie Nick Lappin into the net. It was his first goal of the season and Lappins first NHL point in his second game.Johnson got the Lightning on the board 1:59 into the final period, beating Schneider in close off a great feed from the corner by Brayden Point.It was a perfect play from Pointer, Johnson said.

This is the first meeting of the teams since the Buckeyes rolled the Badgers 59-0 in the 2014 Big Ten championship game. Cardale Jones started that game at QB for Ohio State in place of an injured J.T. Barrett and led the Buckeyes to the national championship. Barrett goes into Saturday looking to strengthen his Heisman Trophy candidacy after last weeks poor passing performance against Indiana. The stakes are especially high for Wisconsin . A victory would give the Badgers, for the first time, three wins in the same season against top-10 opponents. However, a loss in this game, two weeks after their loss at Michigan, would all but end their College Football Playoff hopes.BEST MATCHUPNorthwestern at Michigan State. These two teams are the biggest underachievers in the Big Ten, so why is this the best matchup? Both are desperate to save their seasons. The Wildcats are 2-1 in their last three and coming off a road win against Iowa two weeks ago. But theyve been beaten by West leader Nebraska and can afford no more losses if they hope to keep pace in the division. The Spartans, meanwhile, are 0-2 in the conference, have lost three straight and are unsettled at quarterback . For the defending Big Ten champions, its all about securing the best possible bowl destination.INSIDE THE NUMBERSOhio State is third nationally in scoring (53.2 points per game) and second in points allowed (10.8 ppg). The Buckeyes remain the only FBS team to not allow a rushing touchdown. ... Nebraska has gained at least 400 yards in seven straight games, the Huskers longest streak since 2012. ... Iowa heads to Purdue on an eight-game road winn streak that is the Hawkeyes longest since 1920-23.dddddddddddd ... Purdue is going for back-to-back victories for the first time since 2012 and its first home win over Iowa since 2007. ... Minnesotas Conor Rhoda, expected to start in place of injured Mitch Leidner at Maryland, has completed 1 of 2 career passes for 6 yards. ... Illinois Chase McLaughlin had made the first 22 kicks of his career (8 FGs, 14 PATs) before he missed in the final seconds of regulation against Purdue last week. ... Five players have taken a snap behind center this season for Rutgers: Chris Laviano, Janarion Grant, Giovanni Rescigno, Tylin Oden and Zach Allen.LONG SHOTRutgers is a six-point underdog at home against Illinois. The Scarlet Knights have been outscored a combined 136-0 by Ohio State and Michigan the last two weeks. If first-year Rutgers coach Chris Ash can get his players minds right, the Illini present their best chance for a conference win. Illinois is coming off a loss at home to Purdue and faces uncertainty at quarterback after Wes Lunt was knocked out of that game in the second quarter.PLAYER TO WATCHQB Richard Lagow is the key to Indianas bid to beat a top-10 opponent for the first time since 1987. He enters his home game against 10th-ranked Nebraska with a Big Ten-leading 15.7 yards per completion and 292 yards a game. He has 11 passing TDs, one rushing and one receiving.
