SUNRISE, Fla. -- After a game that included a combined total of 11 penalties and a first-period delay due to broken glass, Florida Panthers right winger Jaromir Jagr said his team's 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night lacked momentum.

"My legs were so cold," said Jagr, 43, of all the stops and starts. "I was thinking: 'If I could survive this game, I can play six more years.'"

The way Jagr is playing -- he scored two goals and had an assist Thursday and has four goals for the season -- the Panthers want as much of him as possible.

Both Jagr and Florida goalie Roberto Luongo, who made 24 saves, reached career milestones at the BB&T Center.

Luongo earned win No. 403, tying Grant Fuhr for ninth place on the NHL list. Luongo is 7-0 with four shutouts in the past two years against the Sabres.

"That's nice," Luongo said of the milestone, "but right now it's not something I'm paying attention to. I'm trying to get some wins to start off on the right foot. (Milestones) are things you reflect on when your career is over."

Jagr's first goal came on a power play. It was his 205th power-play goal, tying Joe Sakic for 13th in NHL history. Jagr passed Wayne Gretzky on the list.

Overall, Jagr has 726 goals, five away from tying Marcel Dionne for fourth place.

"He's a very talented player," Sabres left winger Marcus Foligno said of Jagr. "That's why he's still playing at the age he's playing at."

Florida (3-0-1) has allowed a total of five goals this season.

The Panthers opened the scoring with 11:08 left in the first period. Florida had a five-on-three power play -- a tripping call on defenseman Mike Weber was followed 24 seconds later by a hooking penalty on defenseman Josh Gorges -- and Jagr cashed in.

Panthers center Aleksander Barkov slid a short pass from the left of the crease to the right, where Jagr was waiting.

The first period was interrupted for about 15 minutes when a piece of glass on the back boards broke.

Shortly after play resumed, Jagr scored with a high wrist shot, beating goalie Chad Johnson to the glove side. The goal came with 2:26 left in the first period.

Because of the equipment delay, there was no break between the first and second periods.

The Sabres (1-3-0) closed their deficit to 2-1 with 12:50 left in the second period. Defenseman Jake McCabe, skating down the left wing, took a perfect feed from Foligno and pushed the puck past Luongo for his first NHL goal.

Florida made it 3-1 with 15:36 left in the third period, getting a power-play goal. After Johnson blocked a Jagr shot, Barkov pounced on the rebound, making Buffalo pay for defenseman Mark Pysyk's high-sticking penalty.

Buffalo scored with 7:25 remaining in the third, closing the deficit to 3-2. The Sabres took advantage of a delay-of-game penalty on Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad, getting a power-play goal from center Tyler Ennis. His slap shot got past Luongo, who was screened on the play.

"I thought they came out harder than us to start the game," Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma said. "After they got the second (goal), we were pushing for the final 40 minutes, but we were too far back."
