EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The Islanders turned the page on left winger Jason Chimera on Monday, dealing him to the Anaheim Ducks for center Chris Wagner.
The Islanders announced the move less than an hour before the NHL’s trade deadline Monday.
Chimera signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Islanders as a free agent before the 2016-17 season. After registering 33 points (20 goals, 13 assists) in his first year in New York, the 38-year-old has struggled this season, producing just two goals, nine assists (11 points). He was a healthy scratch the past several games.
