McConvey, 22, helped the Knighthawks get back in the win column in a big way, scoring a franchise-record six goals, including the game-winner, while adding an assist for seven points in the 19-15 win over Panther City on Sunday. It marked his second seven-point effort of the season and first since Jan. 13 against Buffalo.

McConvey opened and closed the scoring for Rochester, which snapped its season-long six-game skid, including two goals in the opening quarter before adding three in the final frame while recording 11 shots and six loose ball recoveries. He also leads all rookies with five power-play goals and ranks third in power-play assists (9) and shots on goal (73).
A native of Toronto, Ontario, McConvey, who has recorded at least one point in all but two games this season, is tied for second amongst all NLL rookies in goals (20) and ranks third in points (34) through his first 10 games of the campaign.
One shift, one play, one ball at a time.
