Forward Jaromir Jagr will make his debut for the Calgary Flames against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Wednesday (10:30 pm ET; FS-W, SNW, NHL.TV). Jagr, 45, has been practicing with the Flames, skating on a line with left wing Kris Versteeg and center Sam Bennett, since signing a one-year, $1 million contract on October 4. He will play with them against the Kings.
Jaromir Jagr, who had 46 points (16 goals, 30 assists) with the Florida Panthers last season, said he's not expecting to make an instant impact with his new team but expects to be a contributor. "I care a lot. I want to play the best I can play," he said. "I know it's not going to be very good, but hopefully in some games I can be better. "I always go there to perform at a high level. It's not about me. It's about the team and about my teammates. I want to help them. I don't want to be there just to be there. I want to help them, make them better."
Wednesday will be Jaromir Jagr's 1,712 NHL game, fourth on the League's all-time list. His 765 NHL goals are third behind Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801). "Nobody really cares what you did 20 years ago," Jagr said when asked about his career accomplishments, which include five NHL scoring titles. "Show me what you can do for us now.
