NHL-Jagr takes sole second on NHL all-time points list

Dec 22 (Reuters) - Czech Jaromir Jagr became the second highest points scorer of all time in the National Hockey League (NHL) when the Florida Panthers winger collected an assist for Aleksander Barkov against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. Jagr, 44, reached 1,888 points 13.20 minutes into the third period to move past Hall of Famer Mark Messier and now trails only the 'Great One' Wayne Gretzky, who ended his career with a staggering tally of 2,857 points.
