Jagr eclipses Coffey for 5th in all-time assists
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
Another day, another record broken by Jaromir Jagr.
The Florida Panthers' ageless wonder rewrote another page of the record books Wednesday when he picked up an assist on teammate Greg McKegg's goal.
The helper marked the 1,136th set-up of Jagr's historic career, pushing him past former NHL blue-liner Paul Coffey.
| Rank | Player | Games | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wayne Gretzky | 1487 | 1963 |
| 2 | Ron Francis | 1731 | 1249 |
| 3 | Mark Messier | 1756 | 1193 |
| 4 | Ray Bourque | 1612 | 1169 |
| 5 | Jaromir Jagr | 1668 | 1136 |
| 6 | Paul Coffey | 1409 | 1135 |
It's only a matter of time before Ray Bourque sees Jagr in his rearview mirror.
