Columbus Blue Jackets boss John Tortorella won the NHL's Jack Adams Award as the league's premier coach on Wednesday evening at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Tortorella bested the Edmonton Oilers' Todd McLellan and Toronto Maple Leafs' Mike Babcock for the coveted honor. He has now captured the Jack Adams Award twice after first doing so after the 2003-04 season.
Tortorella joined the Blue Jackets seven games into the 2015-16 campaign after they fired Todd Richards, but the 2016-17 season was his first full year on the job—and he didn't disappoint.
