What does Calgary Flames winger Jaromir Jagr have in common with Shane Doan, Nicklas Lidstrom, Mike Modano, Teemu Selanne, and Ray Whitney? They’re the only players to score points in three different decades against the San Jose Sharks.
Jagr, 45, is the only player besides Modano on that list whose NHL career predates the Sharks’ existence, and the only one who remains active. He’s projected to play Thursday night against San Jose, according to Sportsnet 590, and will become the second-oldest player to play against the Sharks.
If he plays in one of the next two matchups between San Jose and Calgary in March, he’ll be the oldest.
