Jaromir Jagr postpones debut with Calgary Flames, skips home-opener
CALGARY — Jaromir Jagr wants more time before making his debut with the Calgary Flames.
The 45-year-old right-winger opted not to play in Calgary’s home-opener Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets.
After arriving Wednesday from his native Czech Republic, Jagr had two practices and Saturday’s pre-game skate with his new team.
Head coach Glen Gulutzan said when Jagr plays the first game of his 24th NHL season is his decision.
