Jaromir Jagr became the third player to join the NHL's 750-goal club when he scored Thursday night in the Panthers' 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Jagr's power-play goal tied the game at 2 with 5:50 remaining in the second. Jagr took a pass in the slot from Aleksander Barkov, who was behind the goal line, and beat Braden Holtby.

Jagr trails only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) in career goals.

Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa became the 44th NHL player to reach 500 career goals in Tuesday night's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

"Obviously doing it at home in front of our fans, in Game 4 [of the season], I couldn't be happier," Hossa said. "Especially, you know, the guys ended up winning this game; it feels great."
