NEW YORK (AP) -- Jaromir Jagr spent the first 20 games of the season reintroducing the NHL to his scoring touch.

During the New York Rangers' perfect home weekend, Jagr showed off his playmaking side, too.

Jagr snapped a third-period tie with his 19th goal and set up two others Sunday night in the Rangers' 3-2 victory over Boston, the Bruins' sixth straight loss.

Jagr had five assists in New York's wins over Carolina and Boston on consecutive days, giving him 16 on the season.
