Jagr ties Messier for second on all-time points list
Print Edition
JAROMIR Jagr moved into a tie for second place on the National Hockey League’s all-time points list on Tuesday, the Czech winger grabbing three assists for the Florida Panthers in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
The 44-year-old Jagr reached the towering number of 1,887 points with an assist for Nick Bjugstad that tied the game at 3-3 late in the third period, drawing him level with Hall of Famer Mark Messier. “It’s great stuff, no question about it. It’s a bonus for my job,” Jagr, who won two Stanley Cup titles with the Pittsburgh Penguins, told reporters.
The BB&T Center crowd then cheered Jagr during a video tribute to the winger before the teams went to overtime.
Jagr, whose career began in 1990, reached the landmark in 1,662 career games and will have a chance to move into sole possession of second on the list when Florida hosts the Boston Bruins.
Jagr could have caught Messier sooner, but he took a three year hiatus from the NHL between 2008 and 2011 to play in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.
Wayne Gretzky is the NHL’s all-time top scorer with 2,857 points. Gordie Howe is third with 1,850.
