(CALGARY)–The Ottawa Senators blanked Calgary 6-0 Friday night to end the Flames three-game winning streak. The Sens scored once in the first two periods before dousing the Flames with four more in the third.
It was Jaromir Jagr’s first game played at home for Calgary and the 1713th of his career. Jagr needs 18 more games played to tie Ron Francis for fourth all time.
Full coverage of the game from NHL.com can be found here.

Jaromir Jagr looked stronger in this his second game than he did in his First game as a Flame Wednesday night. Like his teammates he was held without a point but in a game where his team allowed a half dozen scores, finishing even in +/- was an accomplishment. Jagr skated some shifts on the top line as Calgary coach Glen Gulutan sought effective combinations.
The Flames visit Vancouver Saturday night. Rosters and stats from nhl.com

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr on twitter. This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare, but worth the wait.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are:
https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/?fref=ts
This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all. With 700,000+ followers, he doesn’t monitor the page that closely or answer messages, so don’t be offended.
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.

@Zdenek_Janda Czech reporter who covers the NHL and reports on other news for the people of the Czech Republic, sometimes from the USA.
@Jsmidcro Jan Smid was a US-based Czech reporter who collaborated on “Jagr”, an autobiography in the late 90’s detailing Jagr’s early life and career in the NHL. Smid now covers international affairs but has remained friends with Jagr through the years. A good follow for his international news. The book is till available on Amazon and ebay, tells the early story of Jagr’s life and career through 1996. Comes with a nice replica autograph inside so don’t be fooled by claims that the book is hand-signed by Jagr unless there’s a second, smaller signature somewhere.

TRAVELLING JAGRS links
@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. This is the official site for the group but is the personal twitter for Dallas Stars Jagr, aka Trevor Freeman
