Matthew Schaefer followed up his first NHL goal with what was probably the one millionth roast of his old man.
After the New York Islanders rookie defenseman and No. 1 pick at the 2025 NHL Draft scored a sliding power-play goal to send fans at UBS Arena into a frenzy, Schaefer still had time to get a good-natured shot in at his dad, Todd.
Schaefer exited the locker room to see his dad, who had a big bear hug and kiss on the cheek waiting for him after the milestone moment.
“I didn’t know we had a chess board here too,” Matthew joked as his dad looked down at his black and white checked shirt.
