Matthew Schaefer became the youngest player to score an overtime goal in NHL regular-season history, finding the net at 2:06 of the extra session as the New York Islanders rallied to beat the Utah Mammoth 3-2 in Salt Lake City on Friday.

Schaefer, 70 days past his 18th birthday, broke the mark held by Sidney Crosby, who was 31 days older when he scored for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Nov. 16, 2005. The youngest NHL postseason OT scorer was Don Gallinger, who was 17 when he led the Boston Bruins to a win in the 1943 playoffs.

Emil Heineman and Jonathan Drouin also scored and David Rittich made 27 saves as New York won its fourth consecutive game. The Islanders’ Bo Horvat had an assist to extend his point streak to eight games (six goals, six assists).
