In 1996, his goal gave the Pittsburgh Penguins a 1-0 win over Winnipeg I.
His goal Tuesday was his 16th career overtime tally, a new NHL record. He had shared the mark with Mats Sundin, Sergei Federov, and Patrik Elias.
Wayne Simmonds bailed out a shaky Ilya Bryzgalov, scoring with 9.7 seconds left in regulation to tie the score, 4-4. Simmonds tapped in a slick pass from James van Riemsdyk to send the game into overtime.
"He was wide open, and all I had to do was slide it over to him," van Riemsdyk said. "I was going to throw it at the [goalie's] pads, and I saw him at the last minute."
The Flyers outshot the Jets, 55-26, but needed the late heroics because goalie Ondrej Pavelec (50 saves) was sensational and because the Jets were 3 for 3 on the power play.
The Flyers' attack was relentless all night.
"We've got four lines, and every one of them can score," Jagr said. "You've got to make the other team tired."
"I'm really proud that the guys kept coming and kept pumping," coach Peter Laviolette said. "It was one of those gutsy efforts. Might have been one of our best, toughest wins of the year. We kept fighting and pushing to get the two points."
The 55 shots tied a Flyers record for most shots in a road game. They had 55 shots in a 4-3 OT win in Boston in 2007.
"That's what made us so dangerous in the first half of the season - any line you put on the ice can score," Jagr said. "Then we kind of switched [because] there were a lot of injuries. We have to go back to that. It doesn't matter how many they score against us; we know we can score a lot of goals."
The enigmatic Bryzgalov and the Flyers' penalty-killing units continued to struggle. The Flyers have allowed two or more power-play goals in three of their last five games.
