Devils beat Penguins 3-1, earn 1st win under Lamoriello
Ed Mulholland / USA TODAY Sports
Lou Lamoriello collected his first head coaching victory in nearly a decade as the New Jersey Devils snapped a three-game slide with a 3-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Of course, the win also belongs to co-head coaches Scott Stevens and Adam Oates, but Jaromir Jagr was quick to applaud an otherwise unheralded Devil for galvanizing the club Monday night.
Jagr on Tootoo: "It's not an accident that after his fights we scored the goals."

New Jersey scored within moments of both of Tootoo's fights with Robert Bortuzzo, including Jagr's game-winner late in the second period.
