Crazy Jaromir Jagr stat you have to see to believe remains alive in Stanley Cup Final

Jun 5 2026, 7:57 pm

Despite not having played in the NHL since the 2017-18 season, Jaromir Jagr remains one of hockey’s biggest legends.

The 54-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal 1,733-game career, which ranks fourth all-time in NHL history. His 1,921 points rank second all-time to only Wayne Gretzky, while his 766 goals are fourth.

As you would assume, given the longevity of his career, Jagr had a ridiculous number of teammates during his time in the NHL. He suited up for nine teams during his historic run: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, and Calgary Flames.

All those stops have helped Jagr put together one of the wildest ongoing streaks in hockey history.

With Rasmus Andersson and Reilly Smith playing for the Vegas Golden Knights, along with Mark Jankowski for the Carolina Hurricanes, it marks the 46th straight season in which a former teammate of Jagr’s has played in the Stanley Cup Final.

Both Andersson and Jankowski played briefly with Jagr in Calgary during the 2017-18 campaign. Smith played with him for a single season with the Panthers in 2016-17.

Jagr was a part of three of those Stanley Cup Finals. He and his Penugins teammates won back-to-back Cups in 1992 and 1993. He also advanced to the Cup Final in 2013 with the Bruins, though they wound up falling to the Chicago Blackhawks.

This only continues to add to Jagr’s legacy. He still plays professional hockey, having suited up for six games with the Kladno Knights in the Czech Extraliga this season. Whether he suits up for some more games in 2026-27 remains to be seen, though at this point, nobody should be surprised if he does.
