The 43-year-old Czech scored on the power play with 11 second
left in the opening period of a 5-4 shootout win over the
Vancouver Canucks.
It was the 10th goal of the campaign for Jagr, playing in the
22nd season of his decorated career.
He is now nine goals away from Brett Hull (741) for third
all-time.
Gordie Howe is second with 801 goals while Wayne Gretzky holds
the top mark with 894. Jagr, who added an assist for the
Panthers Sunday, is also fourth on the NHL’s all-time points
list with 1,826. He trails Howe (1,850), Mark Messier (1,887)
and Gretzky (2,857) on that list.
