Jaromir Jagr passes Brett Hull for third on all-time goals list

Jaromir Jagr scored the 741st and 742nd goals of his career in the Panthers’ game against the Jets on Saturday night, passing Brett Hull for third on the all-time goals list.

Standing ovations, a multi-goal game and rubber rats can only mean one thing: Jaromir Jagr was having a milestone-setting night.

In the Florida Panthers’ game against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, Jagr scored career goals 741 and 742, tying and then passing Hall of Famer Brett Hull for third place on the all-time goals list.

The 44-year-old right winger tipped in his first goal of the night five minutes into the second period with a setup by Dmitry Kulikov.

Number 742 came halfway through the third period on a wrist shot in the middle of traffic. A pass by Jussi Jokinen got to Jagr for the milestone goal.

The Panthers went on to defeat the Jets 3–1.
