Isles' Matthew Schaefer edges Crosby as youngest with OT goal

SALT LAKE CITY -- Matthew Schaefer scored on a slap shot 2:08 into overtime to become the youngest player to score an overtime goal in a regular-season NHL game as the New York Islanders beat the Utah Mammoth 3-2 on Friday night for their third straight extra-time victory.

Jonathan Drouin and Emil Heineman also scored for the Islanders (10-6-2) in their fourth straight win. David Rittich stopped 27 shots, including all 16 after the first period.

Schaefer, the defenseman selected first overall in this year's NHL draft, has 15 points, most among NHL rookies. He is 18 years, 70 days old, younger than Sidney Crosby, who was 18 years, 101 days when he scored an overtime goal on Nov. 16, 2005.

At 18 I could juggle and recite passages from Zork form memory. Mr. Schaefer has clearly chosen a more impressive path!

is playing more minutes per night than anyone else on the team. To show such poise on the ice at such a young age is remarkable. Hopefully he has a long and healthy hall-of-fame career.
