Coach Claude Julien has liked the play of Jaromir Jagr even though the veteran winger is still searching for his first goal of the playoffs. "I think it's unfortunate that his numbers don't reflect his play," Julien said. " ... He's been good, his attitude's been great. He works hard, he does extra. He's in it for the right reasons. His experience and what he means in our dressing room, what he's done in his career and how the other players look at him, he's been nothing but a great asset." He has contributed four assists and 36 shots in 12 playoff contests.

"We've shown that we've been able to replace those types of players - Torey (Krug) wasn't even drafted - through trade, through draft, through free agents. There's different ways to skin the cat." Jagr has no goals, four assists, and a minus-two rating in the 2013 postseason.

Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma thinks Jaromir Jagr can still play. "He's still a force down low, tough guy to take the puck off of. I don't look at birth certificates." Bylsma said. While Jagr hasn't scored a goal yet, he's created plenty of chances and could break through.
