Usually, it's the Colorado Avalanche that finds a way to come back to win.

Tuesday night, the New Jersey Devils turned the tables on the Avs and rallied for a 5-3 win.

The Avalanche built a 3-0 on the strength of goals by Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar.

Makar's goal came at 5:52 of the second period.

But then the Devils came back. New Jersey scored three goals in an 8:01 span and it was 3-3 at the second intermission.

The Devils added two goals in the second half of the third period to get the win.
