Jaromír Jágr celebrated his 51st birthday about a week early by scoring his 1,099th goal to overtake Wayne Gretzky at the top of the chart.

Jágr, who will turn 51 on Feb. 15, scored for the Kladno Knights on Sunday in a 5-4 loss at Trinec in the Czech league.

The winger, who was the NHL's second-highest point scorer in 2018 when he was released by the Calgary Flames, got his 1,099 goals in professional games and at international tournaments.
