Mark your calendars, Florida Panthers fans.

Jaromir Jagr is expected to debut with his eighth career NHL team Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Jagr is expected to play on one of Florida's scoring lines alongside Nick Bjugstad and Jussi Jokinen or Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau. Jokinen is the only one of those four possible linemates who was alive when Jagr made his NHL debut, but the Panthers young core should benefit from his wealth of experience.

Goaltender Roberto Luongo is one Panthers player excited to see what Jagr brings to the team.
