The 44-year-old needed 1613 games in the NHL to surpass Howe, who racked up his 1850 points in 154 more games (1767) than Jagr. Next up for Double J will be Mark Messier's 1887 points, a milestone that will almost certainly require him to play another NHL season -- barring a torrid final month of the season and a lengthy playoff run, of course.
