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.

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