Forward Jaromir Jagr was placed on injured reserve by the Calgary Flames on Monday because of a lower-body injury.
Jagr, 45, was injured during the first period against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday and did not return to the game, a 4-2 Flames loss.
In five games since signing a one-year, $1 million contract with the Flames on Oct. 4, Jagr has two assists. He had been playing on the top line, with Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau.
Jagr is fourth all-time in NHL games played with 1,716, and needs to play 51 to tie Gordie Howe's record of 1,767. He is third with 765 NHL goals, behind Wayne Gretzky (894) and Howe (801), and is second in points with 1,916, behind Gretzky (2,857).
The Flames recalled forward Mark Jankowski from Stockton of the American Hockey League on Monday.
Calgary next plays at the Nashville Predators on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; FS-TN, SNF, NHL.TV).
