The Calgary Flames had an update today on the injury status of forward (and hockey legend) Jaromir Jagr. Despite speculation from media circles that the team might have a substantial announcement, today’s revelation from head coach Glen Gulutzan was rather low-key.
Gulutzan says Jaromir Jagr remains day-to-day with a lower body injury. #Flames

Jagr, 45, signed with the Flames on Oct. 2 but his tenure with the club has been uneven and besieged by ongoing injuries.
He missed three games to open the season as he tried to get into game shape; he admitted at the press conference announcing his signing that he hadn’t been training as hard as usual because he wasn’t sure he was going to get an NHL job.
