Flames put Jagr on injured reserve

The Calgary Flames will be without Jaromir Jagr until at least next weekend.

The veteran was placed on injured reserve by the club Monday after suffering a lower-body injury early in Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Jagr left that contest and didn't return. The 45-year-old has a pair of assists and nine shots on goal through five games with Calgary this season, after signing a one-year, $1-million pact earlier this month.

The NHL's CBA mandates that players placed on IR must be inactive for at least seven days, so the earliest Jagr could return would presumably be Sunday's game against the Washington Capitals, meaning he'll miss at least three contests.

Calgary recalled forward Mark Jankowski from the AHL's Stockton Heat in a corresponding move.
