— -- Jaromir Jagr became the third player to join the NHL's 750-goal club when he scored Thursday night in the Florida Panthers' 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

Jagr's power-play goal tied the game at 2 with 5:50 remaining in the second. Jagr took a pass in the slot from Aleksander Barkov, who was behind the goal line, and beat Braden Holtby.

Jagr trails only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) in career goals.

The power-play goal was the first in 11 opportunities for the Panthers this season.

Jagr's goal was his first in 10 games, including one last season, six playoff games last season and three this season.
