Jaromir Jagr said he’s played his final game with the Czech national team after the team lost in the bronze medal game to Sweden on Sunday.
But he’ll still be playing with the Devils in 2014-15.
“The toughest thing I found out in my hockey career is the longer you take off during the summer, it’s tougher to get back into shape,” Jagr said, according to The Star-Ledger. “So I’m glad I did it. I had 10 tough games here and three (tuneup games) before that. One month’s extra practice, so I like it.”
The 42-year-old and nine-time NHL All-Star, played 82 games for the Devils this season and scored 24 goals with 43 assists.
