Schaefer Passes Bobby Orr for 2nd-Most Goals by 18-Year-Old D-Man

New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer scored his 14th goal of the season in a 2-1 victory over the Rangers, passing Bobby Orr for the second-most goals by an 18-year-old defenseman in NHL history. He is now three goals shy of Phil Housley's record and Denis Potvin's franchise record for rookie defensemen. Schaefer, a Calder Trophy front-runner, has 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists) in 54 games, with coach Patrick Roy comparing his shot to Ray Bourque's.
