2/21 Recap: MacKenzie nabs star

Matt MacKenzie played even to earn the game's #3 star Monday as Tri-City lost to rival Spokane, 5-1. The Ams offense could only muster 10 shots on goal in the final forty minutes while MacKenzie showed good poise and effort in his own end to earn the nod from the local voters.

In the OHL, Zack Kassian saw his six-game point streak come to an end as Windsor was stopped by London, 3-2. Kassian, who skated the majority of his shifts with Stephen Johnston and Kenny Ryan, had collected 3+7 over the stretch to boost his season totals to 24-45-69.

Gregg Sutch did not play as Mississauga continued to sputter with a 5-2 loss to Kitchener. Sutch, who has made less of an impact since suffering a head injury at the same time that talented Russian Maxin Kitsyn joined the club, was one of just Majors skaters to not register a point in Sunday's thumping of Niagara.
