Jaromir Jagr made history again Monday, recording an assist to move him past Gordie Howe on the NHL's all-time points list.
But Jagr wasn't in the mood to celebrate the milestone after the Florida Panthers dropped their third straight game, a 5-4 decision to the Boston Bruins.
"It's more for you guys," Jagr said to the assembled media after the game, in a video posted on the Miami Herald's website. "It's just behind me now, let's concentrate on the wins."
Jagr, who turned 44 last month, has 21 goals and 28 assists in 63 games. He's got his eye on the playoffs (which he hasn't played in since 2013), because the postseason means more hockey, and if Jagr's proved anything, it's that he can't get enough of the game.
The Panthers fell behind 4-1 Monday night, storming back to tie the game. New Bruin Lee Stempniak scored the winning goal in overtime.
"It's not like they outplayed us," Jagr said, according to the Miami Herald's Aric Dillala. "It'd be a different story if they outplayed us. We just (gave) it to them."
The Bruins and Panthers are now tied in the Atlantic Division with 81 points, with Florida officially in second place because its played one fewer game. Both trail the Tampa Bay Lightning by two points.
