Jaromir Jagr News

Jagr had hoped to take part in a full practice today, but Devils coach Pete DeBoer gave the team the day off, so he skated on his own instead. “The team had the day off, so I decided to skate on my own a little bit,” Jagr said before joking, “I couldn’t have more days off. That would be too many.”

Jagr skated on a line with Adam Henrique and Damien Brunner.

The Devils are saying the injury is not serious and Jagr should be ready for the season opener. “I believe he’ll be ready. That’s just my opinion,” DeBoer said. “I’d like to see him in an exhibition game or two in a perfect world, but I think he’ll be ready.”

Jagr split last season with the Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins, totaling 16 goals and 19 assists in 45 games, while averaging 18:20 of ice time. He had 10 points -- all assists -- in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Bruins. Even at age 41, Jagr remains a valuable asset to any team seeking a big body with some scoring touch. Jagr has 681 goals and 1,688 points in 1,391 regular-season games spanning 19 seasons with six different clubs.

Jagr missed the last two games of the regular season with flu-like symptoms. He was brought to Boston for his past playoff play. He will be leaned on heavily for offense in their series with the Maple Leafs.

Jagr will miss his second straight game with flu-lke symptoms. Expect him to be ready for game 1 of the playoffs.

Jagr will be replaced by Kaspars Daugavins in the Bruins lineup.

It is unknown who Jagr will play on a line with but he will definitely see a lot of power-play time and will continue to be solid fantasy player in his new home. We could see Nathan Horton moved down to the third line and Jagr join David Krejci and Milan Lucic, but we will know more tomorrow.

The Bruins failed to get a 500-goal scorer in Jarome Iginla but they have added a 679-goal scorer in Jagr. He brings veteran leadership with the ability to score even at the age of 41. He has 14 goals and 12 assists in 34 games this season. Jagr will definitely help the Bruins 24th ranked power-play.

Jagr was expected to be in the lineup tonight, now it is confirmed.

Jagr is expected to be on a line with Benn and Eriksson if he plays. Monitor his status closer to game time.

As expected after missing practice this morning, Jagr won't play tonight for the Stars.

Jagr is day-to-day with a sore back, not skating this morning could mean he'll miss tonight's game. Monitor his status as game-time approaches.

Jagr's injury doesn't appear to be serious and may not miss any time, monitor his status going forward and act accordingly.

Jagr is an interesting addition to the re-tooling Stars. His skills appeared to be declining last season but could still be a mid-tier winger if he holds on to a top-six role with the Stars.

In the interview, Jagr says he plans to be back in the NHL next season but claims he may not be back with the Flyers.

Jagr is in, adjust your lineups accordingly.

Certainly a more encouraging update on the star winger. We should know for sure during warmups.

Consider Jagr a game-time decision for tonight's tilt.

Jagr isn't expected to play tonight but his participation in practice is encouraging. Through 56 games, he has 17 goals and 44 points.
