Saturday night at UBS Arena felt like another New York Islanders chapter being written in real time, as Matthew Schaefer turned a thrilling 4–3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs into a full-blown history lesson.
According to statistician Eric Hornick, at just 18 years and 120 days old, Schaefer became the youngest defenseman in NHL history to record multiple multi-goal games, breaking a mark that had stood since Zach Bogosian did it at 19 years, 106 days. For a blue-liner — let alone one still in his teens — that alone is staggering.
