Jaromir Jagr's first goal with the Florida Panthers was a milestone strike. 

The grizzled veteran matched Phil Esposito for fifth place on the NHL's all-time goal-scoring list with his 717th career marker Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau and Aaron Ekblad - a trio who weren't yet born when Jagr made his debut in 1990 - took a plus on the goal.
