Two games. Two wins. Two “first star” nods.
Connor Mackey had a weekend to remember for the Stockton Heat, scoring three goals and five points as his team recorded back-to-back wins at home over the San Diego Gulls.
Mackey recorded two shorthanded goals and a power-play marker in the two contests. He peppered San Diego goaltender Lukas Dostal with a volley of four shots in Stockton’s 4–1 win on Dec. 4 before capitalizing on his only chance the following night.
In Saturday’s 3–2 Heat victory, Mackey recorded a Gordie Howe hat-trick … all in the first period.
