Jason Chimera on SiriusXM: Free agency, drawn to the Islanders, where the Capitals fell short

The 37-year-old discusses what drew him to a two-year contract as he nears his 1000th NHL game.

New signing Jason Chimera was on the NHL's SiriusXM satellite radio channel morning show this morning to discuss the free agency process and how he chose the New York Islanders after seven seasons with the Washington Capitals.
