"About the only thing that could possibly mar a strong first quarter of hockey for Jaromir Jagr was an injury.

Jagr will miss his second straight game and fourth in the last five Saturday at Madison Square Garden with a groin pull as the Flyers meet the Rangers for the first time this season.

Jagr has 17 points for the Flyers in 19 games. The chemistry he has shown with Claude Giroux, who is having an MVP-type season, is pretty obvious.

Jagr said this week he is thrilled to be playing on a team with younger players he can mentor. He says it's given him a valuable role in his later years – the ability to pass on advice.

So the obvious question we had for him was whether it's sparked something inside of him to perhaps ask the Flyers for a contract extension."
