NHL-National Hockey League roundup

May 5 (The Sports Xchange) - There seems to be no stopping the ageless Jaromir Jagr. On Thursday, the Florida Panthers announced that the 44-year-old veteran signed a one-year contract extension for next season. Sportsnet reported the base value at $4 million, with $1.5 million in potential bonuses. Jagr, the NHL's oldest active player, led the Panthers this season with 66 points in 79 games and moved into third on the NHL career points list. He also served as a captain for the NHL All-Star Game in January. In the Panthers' playoff series against the New York Islanders, Jagr wasn't as effective with no goals and only two points in six games. But his influence as a mentor to players, including Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov, made an impact on the club. --- John Chayka became the youngest general manager in NHL history when the Arizona Coyotes promoted him to the post. Chakya 26, had been serving as the club's assistant general manager specializing in analytics. He joined the organization 11 months ago. The Coyotes also announced that Gary Drummond will be president of hockey operations while coach Dave Tippett will double in the role of executive vice president of hockey operations. Tippett also agreed to a new five-year contact. --- The Dallas Stars recalled centers Jason Dickinson and Justin Dowling, defenseman Julius Honka and right winger Brendan Ranford from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League before Thursday night's NHL playoff game against the St. Louis Blues. The Stars trail the Blues 2-1 heading into Game 4 of the best-of-seven Western Conference second-round series in St. Louis after falling 6-1 on Tuesday night. (Editing by Larry Fine) ))
