The Czech Republic fell 3-0 to the United States in the bronze medal game in Prague on Sunday.
The 43-year-old Florida Panthers forward made a similar announcement after the Czech Republic lost to Sweden in the bronze game last year.
He decided to unretire and represent the host country this spring, scoring six goals and adding three assists in 10 games at this year's tournament.
Jagr ranks fourth all-time in the NHL with 1,802 career points in 1,550 regular-season games.
