Panthers' Jaromir Jagr ties Gordie Howe for third all-time in points
Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr tied Gordie Howe for third all-time in NHL points with his 27th assist and 48th point of the season during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
What It Means:
Remarkably, Jagr needed 156 fewer games than Howe to reach 1,850 points. The (newest) ageless wonder sits 37 points behind Mark Messier and 1,007 points behind Wayne Gretzky for most all-time NHL points. In addition, Jagr is poised to crack the 50-point plateau for the third time since returning from Russia in 2011-'12.
In his age-44 season, Jagr just keeps on producing. We project him to tally another five goals with eight assists over the final 17 games. His Corsi For Percentage of 50.7 is the second lowest clip of his career. Jagr's Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is 3.1, which is his worst mark since 2012-'13.
