Eighteen-year-old hockey sensation Matthew Schaefer has made a splash in the NHL, both on and off the ice. During a recent appearance on the NHL on TNT studio show, Schaefer playfully jabbed former New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist for asking the first question, instead of Long Island native and host Liam McHugh. This lighthearted moment highlighted Schaefers growing personality and his instant connection with the Islanders fanbase. Schaefers arrival has also coincided with a significant shift within the Islanders organization, allowing his charismatic personality to shine. On the ice, Schaefer has already tallied eleven points in his first thirteen NHL games, earning him a target on his back and the admiration of his teammates.
