Jaromir Jagr found it tough to concentrate after the New York Rangers took big leads twice against the last-place Philadelphia Flyers.
Jagr had two goals and an assist, and the Rangers chased goalie Martin Biron and beat the Flyers 6-4 on Saturday night.
"We had to win this game to stay in the hunt for the playoffs," Jagr said. "We play probably the most important game of the season (Sunday against Toronto).
"When you have a three-goal lead, you're already thinking, 'Let's play smart and save some energy.' It doesn't work that way. You get them back in the game."
