NHL: Jagr loses teeth to put Rangers back on winning track

Jaromir Jagr lost some teeth before firing in a one-timer with 9:15 left to give the previously punchless New York Rangers a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL on Monday.

Jagr flashed a toothless, bloody grin on the bench from an errant stick shortly before ripping Michal Rozsival's pass by goalie Johan Holmqvist during a power play for his third of the season.

Brendan Shanahan connected for another power-play goal 2:44 later, with assists from Jagr and Chris Drury, to seal New York's second win in seven games.

The Rangers have scored an NHL-low 19 in 11 games.

Vincent Lecavalier netted his ninth on a second-period penalty shot as the Lightning fell to 0-4 on the road.

Capitals 7, Maple Leafs 1

At Toronto, Alexander Ovechkin scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season and five Washington players got their first in a victory over Toronto.

Brian Sutherby, Matt Bradley, Jeff Schultz, Matt Pettinger and Boyd Gordon all scored their first goals of the season for the Capitals while center Michael Nylander had three assists.

Sharks 4, Stars 2

At Dallas, Devin Setoguchi scored two goals in the third period of his first NHL game to help San Jose rally to beat Dallas.
