Eric Fehr scores first postseason goal since 2016, gets cheap-shotted by Jason Chimera

Former Capitals forward Eric Fehr spent 34 games in the AHL this season, but got a new lease on his NHL life at the trade deadline.

The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt Fehr, who they had previously loaned to AHL San Diego, to the Sharks for a seventh-round pick. Since then, Fehr has primarily served as the Sharks fourth line center.

After scoring three goals in 14 regular season games with San Jose, Fehr found the back of the net in the postseason for the first time, Tuesday night. Fehr’s second period goal helped the Sharks’ thrash the Ducks 7-1 during Game Three of their first-round series.

The Sharks now lead 3-0.

Former Capitals forward Jason Chimera plays in his 1,000th career game

37-year-old Jason Chimera just became the 309th player in NHL history to play in 1,000 games. The massively popular former Capital reached the milestone at Joe Louis Arena Friday, where the Islanders are taking on the Detroit Red Wings.

“That number is pretty cool,” Chimera said to NHL.com’s Cody Wright after the Islanders’ morning skate. “You don’t get to pat yourself on the back too many times in this game, but this is one of times you can look back and it’s been a pretty good ride. It’s not over, so hopefully many more miles to come, but that’s a pretty cool number.”

Tributes have been pouring in across the league.

Jason Chimera on his stunning backhand goal: ‘I didn’t know I could do that’

Two gaffes by Dmitry Orlov gave the New York Islanders a 2-0 lead in the third period. But it wasn’t until former Capital Jason Chimera scored on Braden Holtby that I wanted to chuck my remote control through the window and take a bat to it.

Chimera’s impossibly-precise backhand goal was stunning. And apparently I wasn’t the only one who was stunned.

With Jason Chimera gone, Andre Burakovsky looks to regain his power play spot

Washington Capitals forward Andre Burakovsky scored 14 goals after New Years last season in 45 games, good for nearly 30 goals at an 82 game pace. He did this all without being a regular on the power play and playing just over 14 minutes a game. Now he’s likely got get a renewed chance at racking up points on the man-advantage. Last season only one of his 17 goals came on the power play. He finished second in even-strength goals, behind only 50-goal scorer and Rocket Richard winner Alex Ovechkin.

Burakovsky, 21, started the season on the power play, but lost his spot to Jason Chimera, who had four PP goals and five PP assists, after 14 games due a poor start, which included time in the press box. In Burakovsky’s first 32 games of the 2015-16 campaign, he had just two goals and six assists.

“In the beginning you just want to do everything so properly and the right way,” Burakovsky said of first full season in the NHL. “[I] was trying to bring everything full speed. Sometimes you just slow down the game and think a little bit more than you act. That was kinda what I did at the end [of last season] there. When I had the puck I felt more comfortable. I could hold it a little bit more and find an open lane for my teammates. I think it worked out pretty good for me.”
