Jason Chimera is a man of mystery, most notably surprising himself.
The New York Islanders forward scored a ridiculous goal Thursday night, splitting the defense of his former club - the Washington Capitals - before beating Braden Holtby with a nasty backhand.

The goal appeared to have caught his former netminder by surprise, but, as Chimera admits, he wasn't alone.
Told Chimera that Holtby gave him a “I didn’t know you could do that” look after his goal.

Chimera: “*I* didn’t know I could do that.”
The goal gives Chimera three on the season, but after this beauty, the sky is the limit now ... right Jason?
