Jagr moves into 3rd on NHL goals list, Panthers beat Jets
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) Jaromir Jagr scored twice to move into third place on the NHL career goals list and help the Florida Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 on Saturday night.
Reilly Smith had the go-ahead power-play goal early in the third period for Florida and Roberto Luongo stopped 30 shots in his return after missing two games. The Panthers won for just the third time in eight games (3-3-2).
Nikolaj Ehlers scored and Michael Hutchinson finished with 25 saves for the Jets, losers of three straight (0-2-1).
Jagr's goal 4:53 into the second period tied the score at 1-1 and tied Brett Hull for third with 741. Only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) had more goals.
Jagr then scored his 20th of the season and No. 742 for his career on a wrist shot from close range with 4:23 left in the third period to make it 3-1.
