Jagr hits 60-point mark for 18th time in legendary career

The legend of Jaromir Jagr continues to grow by the day.

With a pair of assists in Thursday's win over New Jersey, the Florida Panthers winger recorded points 60 and 61 of the season, marking the 18th time he has reached that plateau since entering the NHL back in 1990.

It's also the second time the 44-year-old has eclipsed 60 points since returning from a three-year stint in the KHL, the other coming as a member of the Devils in 2013-14 (67 points).

In short, he's one of the most prolific offensive players the game has ever seen.

Jagr's assists came on goals by Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov, a pair of talented forwards whose combined age is 42.
