COLUMBUS, Ohio - Not so long ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets were looking for ways to lose. Rudy Gobert Jazz Jersey .Now they are doing the opposite.Kevin Connauton scored his first goal of the season off a lead pass from Ryan Johansen at 1:58 of overtime to help the Blue Jackets overcome a late goal and get past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.When you arent winning games, thats kind of the mentality, coach Todd Richards said of his clubs recent defeatist attitude due to a long list of injuries. You can feel this team starting to get its spirit back. There was a stretch there were thats what we had lost.Johansen took a drop pass and waited for Connauton to slip past Matt Read. He then fed a pass to Connauton for the high shot that beat Steve Mason, who made his first start in Columbus since being traded to the Flyers.I dont know if I would have jumped (up) there, but it was four on four and they got caught with three guys low, said Connauton, a waiver pickup from Dallas playing his seventh game with Columbus. We got that two-on-one. Joey made an unbelievable play to draw that defenceman over and create the breakaway for me.Boone Jenner scored in his career-best fourth straight game, and longtime Flyers forward Scott Hartnell also had a goal for Columbus. Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves for the Blue Jackets, who followed a 2-13-2 stretch with their four straight wins.Brayden Schenn had both goals for the Flyers, including one after a video review with 55.3 seconds left in the third period. Mason stopped 21 shots.With the Flyers trailing 2-1, former Columbus forward Jakub Voraceks shot from the point deflected off Schenn in the crease and trickled through Bobrovskys pads. The on-ice call of no goal was overturned.The third period we pushed and played a lot better, said coach Craig Berube, whose club played the last of a five-game, 11-day trip, and had lost 10 of 11 before beating Los Angeles on Saturday.Mason, who is 2-3 against Columbus since being traded in April 2013, said the Flyers deserved the point.But you put yourself in a position to get the second one and you cant come up with it, he said. In overtime, we made a mistake and its in the back of the net.Columbus, plagued by injuries all season, welcomed back centre Brandon Dubinsky. An integral leader, he played his first game of the season after abdominal surgery.Its all about the team right now, he said, after picking up an assist on Jenners goal. We needed the points.The Blue Jackets took a 2-1 lead with their second power-play goal in two chances.Defenceman Jack Johnson shot wide, but then centred the rebound off the back boards. Nick Foligno got a stick on it and the puck ended up between Hartnells skates. He jabbed at it twice before pivoting and scoring his sixth of the season but first in 13 games.When we were losing, we were just waiting for something to go bad, Hartnell said. Now were expecting to win.NOTES: Four-time All-Star Vincent Lecavalier was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game for the Flyers. ... Philadelphia forward R.J. Umberger, playing his 700th career NHL game, was recognized on the scoreboards for his six seasons with the Blue Jackets. ... Dubinsky, playing his 499th career game, has 99 career goals. ...

Phoenix originally signed Barbosa to a 10-day contract on Jan. 8 after Eric Bledsoe injured his knee and then signed him to another 10-day deal.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Its Michael Vicks turn. Even though its probably too late to save the New York Jets season.Rex Ryan announced Monday that Vick will start at quarterback over Geno Smith in the Jets road game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.I think this is the right decision at this time, Ryan said, adding that it isnt any long-term deal or whatever.The Jets are mired in a seven-game skid that has them at 1-7 after a 43-23 loss in which both Smith and Vick turned the ball over three times against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.I think its a great opportunity, the 34-year-old Vick said. Any time you get named to be the starter, in any profession, in professional sports, its a great thing. You have to relish it, but also at the same time take it extremely serious and understand whats at stake and what needs to be done.Smith, in his second season, was benched in the first quarter Sunday after throwing interceptions on three consecutive possessions. Vick took over and provided a spark, leading the Jets to a touchdown on his first drive, but also committed three turnovers of his own.My focus is just on Kansas City and trying to find a way to get a win, Ryan said. Thats why this decision was made.Vick was 18 of 36 for 153 yards against the Bills, and also ran for a team-leading 69 yards on eight carries. But he threw one interception — and nearly had another that was ruled incomplete after being overturned by video review — and lost two fumbles.His first start with the Jets will come against Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who helped revive the quarterbacks career in Philadelphia after he served nearly two years in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. Vick called it kind of ironic and added that it isnt exactly what he wanted, but is happy to be starting — regardless of the opponent.I love Andy Reid for the man that he is, Vick said. As far as the football game, football is football. I just want to go out there and do whats best for the team and hopefully try to get a win.Smith injured his right shoulder during the game when he made a touchdown-saving tackle on his final interception, but both hee and Ryan said it isnt serious. Jeff Hornacek Jersey. Ryan did acknowledge Smiths shoulder isnt 100 per cent, and Matt Simms could be activated from the practice squad if Smith isnt available.They said it was minor soreness, Smith said.The Jets have been searching for a franchise-type quarterback since the days of Broadway Joe. Vick will become the 27th quarterback to start a game for New York since Joe Namaths last game with the team in 1976. A few have had some good moments — Vinny Testaverde, Chad Pennington, Brett Favre and even Mark Sanchez — but none was able to sustain any level of dominance or post-season success.Smith was given every opportunity to prove he could be that type of player after being thrust into the job when Sanchez was lost for the year during the 2013 preseason. He finished his shaky rookie season with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, but had a solid final month to give the Jets some hope.New York signed Vick in the off-season to provide some competition for Smith, but it was clear early that it was the second-year quarterbacks job all along. Still, Smith did little to reward the Jets faith in him as he had seven touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in eight games.Have there been guys that took a step back and then took a leap forward? There have been guys like that, Ryan said. Hopefully thats what happens to Geno, but I dont think anybody in this organization is looking at him differently right now.Smith believes he without a doubt can still be a franchise quarterback.The quarterbacks found out about the decision from Ryan after the team meeting Monday. Smith said he initially had no reaction when he was told, but added that he was frustrated and a little surprised to not be the starter this week. He also said he needed no explanation from the coach.Thats something that you have to expect, especially with the way I performed in the previous game, Smith said. It was definitely not (a performance) fitting of what I believe is the calibre of a starting quarterback.
