Jaromir Jagr finished his 21st NHL season by equalling The Great One.
The ageless Florida Panthers forward scored the eventual game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils, and he hit a milestone in the process.
Jagr's marker in the third period was his 204th career power-play goal, tying Wayne Gretzky for 14th on the all-time list.
Gretzky accomplished the feat in 63 fewer games. Dave Andreychuk holds the record with 274 power-play goals in a 23-year career.
After Saturday's victory, Jagr said he is close to signing a contract extension with the Panthers.
The 43-year-old scored six goals and added 12 assists in 20 games after a midseason trade from the Devils.
