Schaefer Sets the Table From the Back End in Anaheim

Matthew Schaefer never put a puck on net, and still helped the Islanders win 6-2 in Anaheim. The defenceman finished with three assists and a plus 3 rating in a team-high 25:47 of ice time, the most of any New York skater and of the six defencemen.

Two assists came at even strength and one on the power play. He also rang one off the iron, a shot worth about half a goal in expected goals (how many a chance is worth). He had zero shots on goal, two blocks and one hit.
