Jagr moves into second on all-time NHL points list
Print Edition
FLORIDA Panthers star Jaromir Jagr moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time National Hockey League points list on Thursday, behind only Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky.
The 44-year-old recorded his 1,888th NHL point to pass Gretzky’s former Edmonton Oiler teammate Mark Messier, on an assist on a third-period goal by Aleksander Barkov in a 1-3 loss to the Boston Bruins. But the Czech Olympic hero has a long way to go (969 points) to catch Gretzky, who finished his career with 2,857 points. Former Detroit Red Wing Gordie Howe is fourth with 1,850. The game was stopped for a celebration, and Jagr came onto the ice to accept the commemorative golden stick from the Panthers. He waved to the crowd of 14,600 at the BB&T Center arena and received congratulations from players on both teams. Jagr has played 1,663 games for eight NHL teams since being selected by the Penguins as the fifth overall pick in the 1990 draft. His 1,888 tally includes 755 goals and 1,133 assists.
