And while that debut has come and gone, and Jagr has been in the Flames lineup the five games since, the streak might be in jeopardy.
Jagr left the Flames game on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild with a lower-body injury. In what looked like a routine shift, Jagr skated off and then went down the tunnel to the locker room.
The Flames later tweeted Jagr is under evaluation for a lower-body injury, and the future Hall of Fame forward will not return to the game against Minnesota. Jagr had two assists in four games entering play on Saturday, and had been averaging 13:30 of ice time per game, including a season-high 14:57 in his most recent game on Thursday. Jagr has been a durable player throughout his career, and played in all 82 games of the 2016-17 season for the Florida Panthers. Since Jagr turned 40, he’s appeared in at least 77 games in each season he has played.
