Good Morning, Islanders Country.

There are wins you build on, and then there are wins that build you. The Islanders wanted to carry momentum from their win in Washington. What they got Sunday night at UBS Arena was the kind of comeback that puts wind in your sails.

There are come-from-behind wins, and then there are stunning ones. The kind that leave the building vibrating, that stun the opposition, that even surprise the team pulling it off — no matter how many times they tell you they “always believe.” Down late to a streaking Columbus Blue Jackets team that had sucked the air out of the place, the Islanders turned a deflating loss into a delirious 3–2 win with two goals in 29 seconds that changed everything.

At the center of it, again, was Matthew Schaefer — the wunderkind who keeps delivering scenes that feel straight out of someone else’s highlight reel. His second goal of the night tied the game, a knuckling, bouncing puck that caught a defender’s stick, changed direction twice, and somehow found twine. It was the kind of chaotic, improbable goal that always seems to find its way to the sticks of the best players. He now leads all NHL defenseman with five goals 👀
