Happy birthday, Jaromir: Jagr's best in each NHL sweater he's worn

Sergei Belski / USA TODAY Sports

Jaromir Jagr's reached another milestone. Though this one has slightly less to do with his hockey legend.

The current Florida Panthers forward and enduring all-time great has turned 45, and can mark Wednesday's occasion with a single point in San Jose to make 1,900 for his incredible career.

To celebrate the ride, here's a spectacular goal, or moment, in each sweater he's worn in his incredible NHL career.

Penguins

Jagr's most memorable goal with the Penguins came in the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, when he led a three-goal comeback in Game 1 with a paralyzing display in the offensive zone.

OK - one more with the Penguins.

Capitals

Jump forward to two minutes. This had it all. Speed, power, creativity, that jurisdiction of the attacking zone. Mattias Timander is still waking up in cold sweats over this.

Rangers

More vintage Jagr. He grinds the puck out of his end with lower-body strength alone, then picks up enough speed in neutral ice before accepting the drop pass and winding through helpless defenders to the front of the net.

Flyers

Splitting the two Maple Leafs defenders with speed we didn't remember he had, Jagr scored his first goal after three seasons in Russia in his eighth game with the Flyers.

Stars

Jagr scored just 14 times with Dallas, but did hit a major milestone that season, picking up his 1,000th assist.

Bruins

Jagr scored twice in 33 games with the Bruins in the regular season and playoffs combined. The underwhelming tenure did start well, though, as he was credited for a goal off his skate in his debut.

Devils

Jagr became the seventh player in history to score 700 goals while with the Devils. Bit of a lucky bounce, but that's so very Jagr.

Panthers

Jagr's career with the Panthers hasn't yet amounted to two complete seasons, but there are so many great moments from his tenure in Sunrise.

Here's his 742nd career goal, which put him third all time.

There was also that monumental "ass-ist."
