Jaromir Jagr's No.68 jersey will hang beside Mario Lemieux's No.66 in the rafters at PPG Paints Arena.

According to Josh Yohe of DKPittsburghSports.com, Lemieux, the Penguins current owner and one of the top four greatest hockey players of all-time, said on Friday at the NHL All-Star weekend in Los Angeles that his former teammate's jersey will eventually be retired by the franchise.

Drafted by Pittsburgh as an 18-year-old back in 1990, Jagr, who spoke very little English at the time (he came to the United States after growing up in Czechoslovakia), quickly blossomed into one of the most dynamic players in the NHL, helping the Penguins win their first ever Stanley Cup during his rookie season. The next year, Jagr scored a career best 24 points during the postseason, as the Penguins swept the Blackhawks in the NHL Final to win back-to-back Stanley Cups.

Playing alongside Lemieux and fellow stars such as Ron Francis, Kevin Stevens, Rick Tocchet, Larry Murphy, Joe Mullen, Ulf Samuelsson and others, Jagr was part of one of the most talented teams in NHL history. Despite not winning another Stanley Cup during the decade, the Pens were consistently one of the best teams in the NFL throughout the 90's, winning the Presidents' Trophy in 1993 and making the Eastern Conference Final in 1996.

Jagr assumed the role as team captain when Lemieux retired in 1997, winning four straight scoring titles from 1998-2001. But after the 2001 season, Jagr left to play for the Washington Capitals, playing for five different franchises before landing with his current team, the Florida Panthers, in 2015. While his signature mullet is gone, Jagr's skilled puck handling and knack for finding the back of the net is very much alive, as Jagr scored 66 points in 2016 at the age of 44 while helping lead the Panthers into the NHL playoffs.

And while his history in Pittsburgh has been a checkered one in recent years (he opted to go to Philadelphia instead of returning to Pittsburgh in 2011), it's clear that time has healed any wounds that may have previously existed between the two sides, as one of the greatest players in NHL history will have his career immortalized by the franchise that will never forget him.
