Jagr scores 741st goal to tie Hull for third on career list

Jagr tied and then moved past Brett Hull and now has 742 goals, trailing only Gretzky (894) and Howe (801) (see full recap).

Florida Panthers’ right wing Jaromir Jagr (R) celebrates his goal against the Winnipeg Jets with left wing Jussi Jokinen during their National Hockey League game at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, Saturday. “So far it’s worked so maybe I’m going to catch Gordie and Wayne Gretzky, too”. “I said, ‘I wish I’m going to be a goal scorer, ‘” said Jagr, whose 1,845 career points are five behind Howe for third place on the all-time list.

The 1990 draft pick is also the first player to reach 43 points in a season at 43-plus years old, per Gretz, and there are still 23 games left this year.
