The Pittsburgh Penguins recognized franchise legend and second-leading scorer in NHL history Jaromir Jagr with a video tribute Sunday at PPG Paints Arena as part of the club's 50-year celebration.

Fans in attendance rose to their feet as the video played, and Jagr tapped his chest and waved back in appreciation.

Jagr won two Stanley Cups, five scoring titles, and a Hart Trophy in 11 seasons with the Penguins. He racked up 439 goals and 1,079 points in 806 games, and another 147 points in the playoffs.

He's played for eight NHL franchises since his NHL debut with the Penguins in 1990.
