Jaromir Jagr will play in Madison Square Garden on Friday for the first time since May 1, 2008. Jagr wasn't able to play when the Rangers hosted the Flyers on November 26th because of a groin injury. Jagr spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Rangers before leaving for the KHL at the end of the 2007-08 campaign. "I can not say one bad thing about the Rangers," Jagr said. "They were good to me, the city, the organization, everybody." Despite his age and years of playing in the KHL, Jagr has been playing like he never left the NHL. He has 11 goals and 29 points in 29 games this season.
