His third season in 2011-12 was an impact season with 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points. In the 2013 lockout shortened season his numbers took a dip with three goals and 11 assists for 14 points. He rebounded the next season with 16 goals and 27 assists for 42 points. The next season saw him score seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points.

His final season in D.C. was the 2015-16 season and he left his mark with 20 goals and 20 assists for 40 points. He signed with the New York Islanders as a free agent before finishing his career with the Anaheim Ducks. He is now retired.

Jason Chimera played in 1,107 career NHL games for five different NHL teams with stops with the Edmonton Oilers as well. He got a standing ovation in his first game as a visitor since leaving the Caps when the Islanders visited the next season and called Caps fans “first class” and “knowledgeable”. We miss his veteran presence.
