WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jaromir Jagr scored on a near-impossible shot with 0.8 seconds remaining in regulation Wednesday night, giving the Washington Capitals a 3-3 tie with the Calgary Flames.
Jagr was behind the goal line when he desperately flung the puck toward the net. It hit goaltender Jamie McLennan's body and deflected in for the sixth goal in a wild six-minute stretch that enlivened a game which appeared headed for a scoreless tie.
