""I think we just had so much momentum," Schaefer said after scoring twice in the third period, including the game-tying goal with 1:07 left. "We wanted to end this game here. We battled so hard and fought back, and we got that one.""
""Go Schaef Go!" the eldest chanted while bouncing up and down on the couch."
""I don't think that goes in if Lee's not there screening the goalie," Schaefer said modestly of his equalizer. "He really sealed that. Even on the first goal, the guys just found me and I shot it. It's pretty easy when you've got teammates like that.""
Matthew Schaefer scored two goals in the third period, including a game-tying goal with 1:07 remaining, to help the New York Islanders rally for a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Schaefer opened the scoring on a first-period power-play goal and later credited team momentum and hard work for the comeback. He modestly noted that a teammate screening the goalie helped his late equalizer and praised the support from his teammates. Schaefer, the No. 1 overall pick, is living with the Martin family during his rookie season and has quickly become a focal point through 12 games.
