Jan 3, 2026; Elmont, New York, USA; New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer (48) celebrates after scoring the winning goal in overtime against the Toronto Maple Leafs at UBS Arena. Mandatory Credit: Thomas Salus-Imagn Images <\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\nAuston Matthews became the Toronto Maple Leafs’ all-time leading goal scorer Saturday night, but Matthew Schaefer scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime, as the New York Islanders earned a 4-3 win in Elmont, N.Y.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Schaefer, the No. 1 pick in June’s draft, tied the score at 2-all in the second before collecting the game-winner off a nifty pass from Mathew Barzal with 49 seconds left in overtime.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Adam Pelech scored the game’s first goal in the second and Emil Heineman forced overtime for the Islanders, who have won four of six (4-2-0). David Rittich made 18 saves.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Nicolas Robertson scored in the third for the Maple Leafs, who extended their point streak to six games (4-0-2). Joseph Woll recorded 21 saves.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Matthews tied Mats Sundin with his 420th career goal with an impressive unassisted game-tying tally 9:30 into the second. The Maple Leafs captain picked up a loose puck in the Islanders’ zone and skated around Scott Mayfield while keeping the puck at stick’s length before he tucked a shot into the net while skating across the crease.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Matthews collected the record-breaking goal, putting the Maple Leafs ahead with 2:41 remaining in the period, when he took a cross-ice pass from Bobby McMann and fired a shot beyond Rittich’s glove.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Matthews, who has 20 goals this season, grinned broadly and raised his arms while Oliver Ekman-Larsson raced over for an embrace. The Maple Leafs spilled on to the ice and mobbed Matthews against the boards across from their bench.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The 28-year-old broke Sundin’s record in his 664th regular-season game — 317 fewer than the Hall of Famer needed to set the record from 1994-2008.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Following Matthews’ milestone goal, Schaefer tied the score with a Matthews-esque goal 11:10 into the third. Schaefer skated around Max Domi and Morgan Rielly before darting into the crease and nudging a shot past Woll.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Toronto took the lead at 12:12, when Nicolas Roy stole the puck from Heineman behind the Islanders’ net and fed Robertson, who beat Rittich from point-blank range.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Heineman redeemed himself by scoring the tying goal from the right faceoff circle with 2:45 left.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
