Jaromir Jagr had two shots on goal and was a minus-one in New Jersey's 3-0 loss to the Capitals on Saturday night.
Has the shine finally eroded from the veteran's game? We kid -- Jagr has been brilliant this season with 17 goals, 49 points and a plus-22 rating. Enjoy watching him on the international stage at the Olympics with the Czech Republic; it could very well be the last time. Dainius Zubrus finished with a team-high four shots on net.

Jaromir Jagr isn't happy that Devils coach Pete DeBoer decided to change the top line.
Jagr is naturally still on the line, but Travis Zajac was replaced with Andrei Loktionov. "It doesn't make sense to me and I don't want to talk about it either," said Jagr. "I don't really (care) either." DeBoer is aware that Jagr prefers consistent lines and was reluctant to make the change as a result. Still, as good as Jagr has been this season, who plays where is obviously DeBoer's call. The Devils offense has been a sore point all season and given that, it makes sense that DeBoer would want to try out different combinations.

Jaromir Jagr contributed his fourth multi-point effort in his past five games as the Devils dropped Friday night's match with the Predators 3-2 in overtime.
Jagr, the ageless veteran, has also been impressively consistent this season with the inept Devils offense. His monthly point totals are 10, 12, 12 and 12 between October and January respectively.

Jaromir Jagr collected two helpers on Sunday, passing Mario Lemieux for 10th all-time in assists in the process.

Jagr was one of the few New Jersey Devils without a negative plus/minus today, as he was +1. He ranks 25th in scoring with 44 points in 53 games, adding 28 PIM, an impressive +20 rating and four GWGs. He's also currently seventh all-time in goals and points.

Jaromir Jagr, the New Jersey Devils' leading scorer despite being only a month away of his 42nd birthday, recently suggested he just might play until he's 70 so he can have a go at some of Wayne Gretzky's records.
"Hey, I can do it," he said. "If somebody can do it, I can do it." "He's a marvel for a hockey player," said Phoenix coach Tippett, who played one season with Jagr in 1992-93 with the Penguins. "You look at what he's doing for his age, his longevity and how good a player he's been for so long, it really is a testament to his fitness and his commitment to the game." Coyotes captain Shane Doan wonders how far up the scoring charts Jagr would be if he hadn't left the NHL in 2008 to spend three seasons playing professionally in Russia. "You never know where he'd be at and if he'd be chasing down the top two or three guys in the league of all time," Doan said. "He's a special player. It looks like he's still having fun. His puck skills are just phenomenal. You get a handful of those players that are elite to ever play the game and he's in that handful." Jagr and the Devils visit the Coyotes tonight.
