Jaromir Jagr registered an assist in his 1,400th game on Tuesday.
It was Jagr's 1,011th assist, which puts him just five shy of Joe Sakic and 11th place on the NHL's all-time leaderboard. Jagr ranks eighth in NHL history with 1,694 points and would need just 29 more points this season to tie Mario Lemieux. Unfortunately, Jagr's 1,400th game wasn't pleasant for his team as they suffered a 4-1 loss to Columbus.

Jaromir Jagr will play in his 1,400th game on Tuesday.
Jagr will become the 32nd player in the history of the NHL to reach that feat. That's all the more impressive when you factor in that he spent three seasons in the KHL from 2008-11. Jagr, 41, has two goals and five points in eight games this season.

Jaromir Jagr finished with three shots on goal in the Devils' 3-0 loss to the Jets on Sunday night.
That total tied a team high. Jagr, as expected, continues to log big minutes on the power play, which he did Sunday with 7:01. He should be a decent source of goals, but be prepared to deal with the nights off for rest or bumps and bruises. Jagr has two goals and an assist this season. Dainius Zubrus was one of four Devils to wind up with a minus-two rating. Damien Brunner had two penalty minutes.

Jaromir Jagr is developing some on-ice chemistry with Patrik Elias.
Jagr and Elias combined for two goals on Tuesday. They've been playing recently with Dainius Zubrus, whose defensive game allows his linemates to be more aggressive offensively. Elias and Jagr are obviously well past their prime, but if they stay healthy, they should both get 50-60 points.

Jaromir Jagr scored his first goal as a member of the New Jersey Devils.

Jaromir Jagr spent time on the fourth line Friday.
Jagr lined up with fellow countryman Patrik Elias early in the game but found himself getting fourth line minutes by the third period. Jagr had a tough pre-season as he had back and hip problems and perhaps the Devils are easing Jagr back into the lineup slowly as he is 41 years of age. He should pot around 20 goals and 45-50 points if he can remain healthy this season.

Jaromir Jagr had a strong Devils debut in coach Pete DeBoer's mind despite his lack of preseason action.
Jagr was severely limited in training camp due to back/hip problems. He played on a line with Travis Zajac and Adam Henrique. "I felt okay," Jagr said. "We had the puck most of the night and tried to cycle. It's going to get better when we get to know each other a little more." Jagr had one shot on goal in 15:40 minutes of ice time.
