Jaromir Jagr’s tie with Brett Hull for third all-time on the NHL’s all-time goals list didn’t last long. It didn’t even last a full game.
Jagr scored the 741st goal of his distinguished career in the second period of the Florida Panthers’ game against the Winnipeg Jets. He broke his tie with Hull via his 742nd goal in the third period, with Jussi Jokinen grabbing assists on both goals.
