I kind of bit on the shot [by Frost] and he threw it backdoor. I just put my glove out there, tried to cover space. And I got fortunate... I caught a piece. That's a remarkable accomplishment in this game, and it just speaks volumes for how good of a goaltender he is.
The eighteen-year-old ice-hockey player Matthew Schaefer, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 N.H.L. draft and a rookie defenseman for the New York Islanders, skated around the team's practice rink in East Meadow, on Long Island, the other day, pursued by a cameraman in a rolling office chair.

Steeves made an immediate impression with his hustle, scoring in his second game with the Bruins against his old team.
