SUNRISE, Fla. — It’s history now every time he steps on the ice, but Jaromir Jagr of the Florida Panthers, who celebrated his 44th birthday last Monday, is anything but window dressing.
Jagr entered Saturday’s game with the Winnipeg Jets at BB&T Center in fourth place in the NHL’s all-time goals list, just one off Brett Hull’s 741.
Amazing enough, but Jagr, with two more points, will become the first NHL player ever to "shoot" his age, by becoming the first to have 43 points at age 43 or older.
