Story summary

Brayden and Luke Schenn, NHL players with nearly 40 combined years of experience and over 2,200 games, faced each other when the Islanders played against the Canucks at UBS Arena on Tuesday night. This matchup is not unusual for the brothers, who have been opponents in 21 regular-season games and seven playoff games, as well as teammates for about 3 ½ years. Despite their familiarity with such encounters, both players find these matchups special due to the rarity of Eastern-Western Conference battles. Brayden emphasized appreciating these moments since they are fleeting. Their father, Jeff Schenn, attended the game in Long Island, while their mother, Rita, who is recovering from eye surgery, stayed home.
