Schenn & Schaefer Spearhead Five-Goal Islanders Second Period · Mar 28, 2026
Down 2-0 heading into the second period, the Islanders needed a spark — and Brayden Schenn provided the backbone of a historic 20-minute burst. Schenn logged a goal and two assists as New York erupted for five unanswered in the frame to complete a 5-2 comeback. His tying goal — a crisp slot finish off the rush at 12:06 — broke the dam, and his playmaking anchored the rest. Matthew Schaefer added two helpers to reach 56 points on the season, tying Stefan Persson's 1977-78 franchise record for points by a rookie defenseman in Islanders history.
