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