Matthew Schaefer delivered a historic performance in a 4-3 overtime win over Montreal, setting the New York Islanders franchise record for most goals by a rookie defenseman with 18 and the NHL record for goals by an 18-year-old defenseman. The record-breaking tally tied the game and capped a two-goal night, and he was awarded the team’s Iron Man Mask for the third time this season following his milestone outing.
