SUNRISE–The Panthers hope to have more nights like Thursday night’s 6-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at BB&T Center. Vincent Trocheck had one goal and three assists while Jaromir Jagr had two goals (#22 and 23) and lost a tooth (his fifth of the season, all due to errant Senators sticks).
Aaron Ekblad, Jonathon Huberdeau and Jussi Jokinen also scored for the Panthers while Zack Smith and Eric Karllson scored for the Senators. Highlights of the game from NHL.com can be seen here…

The updated Jagr-O-Meter…
When the Florida Panthers reeled off a 12-game winning streak earlier in the season, nearly the whole team was healthy and playing in sync. As the injuries have healed, the cohesiveness of the team has also found its form, and just in time. With 15 games remaining in the regular season, the Atlantic Division is up for grabs with first-place Boston (84 points) holding a one-point lead over Tampa Bay and Florida (83 points).
A group of about 25 Czechs wearing national team “68” jerseyswere sitting together and thrilled to see their national hero score two goals at Thursdays game. They will also be in attendance for Saturday’s game with Philadelphia at BB&T Center. In addition to Florida’s Jagr, Jiri Hudler and Jakub Kindl, they will get to see Jakub Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers. Jagr and Voracek played together for the Flyers when #68 came back from the KHL. Europeans love to visit Florida for vacation and those that are hockey fans get to see the NHL when the Panthers are playing at home. Creates for an interesting blend of jerseys and accents at the BB&T Center. Tickets for that and remaining Panthers home games can be secured at panthers.nhl.com.

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare, but worth the wait. Jagr has been more active on Twitter this season.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are:
This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all.
Another good facebook page is one produced by someone in the Czech Republic. It has more than 100,000 likes. This is not the official page, but it is very good.

@68isgr8 is the twitter for The Traveling Jagrs. Clad in different Jagr jerseys and hair styles from 68’s career, they gained league-wide recognition when they caught Jagr’s attention during a pre-game skate of a Dallas Stars game in Canada during the 2012-2013 season. Since then, they convene at games in Western Canada and make a road trip or two every year, playing street hockey with locals, posing for hundreds of pictures, and having a good time with fans while honoring an all-time NHL legend.
