"Jaromir Jagr admits making a mistake. The 39-year-old right wing now realizes that he should have played it safe with his tweaked groin instead of talking his way back into the Flyers lineup on Wednesday night.

The result was a return from a two-game absence that didn't last two periods on a night the Flyers rallied for a 4-3 road overtime victory against the New York Islanders.

And now Jagr, who says he came back "two days too soon," will miss two more games this weekend with the Flyers hosting the Montreal Canadiens today and playing the New York Rangers on Saturday at Madison Square Garden."
