SUNRISE, Fla. -- Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr got another commemorative puck Monday when he moved into sole possession of third place on the NHL all-time points list, but he downplayed the significance of the milestone after a 5-4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins at BB&T Center.
Jagr had an assist for his 1,851st NHL point and moved one ahead of Gordie Howe. Jagr trails Mark Messier (1,887) and Wayne Gretzky (2,857).
