SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) – Jaromir Jagr has scored his 741st goal to tie Brett Hull for third place on the NHL’s career scoring list.

Jagr redirected a centering pass from Dmitry Kulikov in the second period of the Florida Panthers’ game against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night. The puck went in over goalie Michael Hutchinson’s right shoulder to tie the score at 1.

Only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) have scored more NHL goals than Jagr. The 44-year-old Jagr has 19 goals in his 22nd NHL season.

Jagr also scored 66 goals during three seasons in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.
