Future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr picked up the 1,000th assist of his illustrious career Friday night in the Dallas Stars' 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. He became the 12th player - and first European in NHL history - to reach that milestone. "When I started, I never thought about any assists and points, I was happy to be able to play (in the NHL)," said Jagr, who began his NHL career in 1990. "When I came here, I didn't think I'd have a chance to play here, the league was too strong and too tough for me. I kept working hard and I've had so many good players around me, I really was pretty lucky."
