The New York Islanders were down 3-0 after throwing everything but the seats at Frederik Andersen. Jason Chimera was hooked on a breakaway and capitalized big time.

The score-sheet and the SOG tell two different stories tonight at the Air Canada Center.

The New York Islanders were down 3-0 against the Toronto Maple Leafs while doing everything they could to flip the script.[sc name=”Islanders Center” ]

Then, after some great end-to-end shifts, Jason Chimera attempted to elevate a shot over Andersen’s glove but was denied on a hook by Matt Hunwick.[sc name=”Into the Isles Podcast Right” ]

The call by the referee was one that infuriated the Air Canada Center and coach Mike Babcock.

Chimmer slowly skated into the zone and tickled the net with a rocket of a wrist-shot behind Andersen (video above).

The goal gives the Islanders a much needed slice into the deficit coming out of the second period.

The Islanders are currently down 3-1 against the Maple Leafs as they look to come back at the start of the third period.
