I just looked at the stat line - Nilsson had three goals and Chouinard had none. Oh, and the Isles were missing just a few players (named Trottier, Bossy, Potvin and Tonelli).
Actually I think the goal you are thinking of was in the 10-0 win over the Red Wings in 1981. Nilsson carried the puck behind the net, the Red Wing defenceman chased him behind the net, the Red Wing goalie followed him over to the far post and Nilsson just did a nifty little drop pass to Eric Vail who deposited the puck in the open side of the net.
