Jaromir Jagr kickstarted a three-goal comeback in the Florida Panthers' 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, scoring his 26th of the season in front of some of his biggest fans.
For the second game in a row, 'The Travelling Jagrs' watched the 44-year-old and his team pick up two points, and members of the group were all able to meet their hero after the game. The group attended the Panthers' win over the New Jersey Devils two days earlier, when Jagr recorded two assists on "Mullet Night."

Jagr took time to sign jerseys for the entire group, who also played some shinny at the Panthers IceDen earlier in the week.

Prior to their trip, the Panthers helped the group recruit a new "non-travelling" member before hosting them for their past two home games.
Florida's win Saturday was their 44th of the season, setting a new franchise record.
