Isles' Matthew Schaefer edges Crosby as youngest with OT goal

SALT LAKE CITY -- Matthew Schaefer scored on a slap shot 2:08 into overtime to become the youngest player to score an overtime goal in a regular-season NHL game as the New York Islanders beat the Utah Mammoth 3-2 on Friday night for their third straight extra-time victory.

Jonathan Drouin and Emil Heineman also scored for the Islanders (10-6-2) in their fourth straight win. David Rittich stopped 27 shots, including all 16 after the first period.

Schaefer, the defenseman selected first overall in this year's NHL draft, has 15 points, most among NHL rookies. He is 18 years, 70 days old, younger than Sidney Crosby, who was 18 years, 101 days when he scored an overtime goal on Nov. 16, 2005.
