2022 Hobey Baker Award winner makes AHL debut for the Marlies

Unfortunately for McKay, the Marlies blew a 4-1 lead, allowing 3 consecutive third period goals to sent the game to OT, where Grand Rapids Griffins forward Cross Hanas buried the game-winner, his 6th goal of the season.

McKay posted a 4-0-1 record with a .911 SV% and a 2.58 G.A.A. in 5 games for the Growlers after 4 strong seasons with Minnesota State University.

The 24-year-old collected 113 wins, never had a save percentage below .924, his G.A.A only surpassed 1.55 once, and only lost 20 games in total. For his efforts during the 2021-22 season, in which he went 38-5-0 with a .931 SV% and a 1.31 G.A.A., he was awarded collegiate hockey's finest award. McKay decided to sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a collegiate free agent on the 25th of April.

The Toronto Marlies' goaltender Dylan Ferguson was scratched for an illness with Brendan Bonello, who was signed to a PTO on Friday, was backing up McKay tonight.
