Putting a player on IR just means the player is removed from the 23 man roster limit and allows the team to put another player on the roster. Putting a player on IR means that they cannot play for 7 days from when they were put on IR

Teams can retroactively put a player on IR to the game they were injured in which is December 31st.

The Flames did not put Jagr on IR because up until now they didn't need the roster spot. Now they do and they didn't want to potentially put another player on there to allow them to call up a player.

It isn't the first official word as both Treliving and Burke have said Jagr is injured and rehabbing and injury.
