He did return to Toledo in the playoffs with ten points (6G, 4A) in 17 contests. McKenzie posted nine points (4G, 5A) for the Griffins in 44 contests, his longest stint in the AHL. The 25-year-old has 44 goals and 71 assists in 128 games at the ECHL level, which includes the 60 points (23G, 37A) over 56 contests in the 2019-2020 season for the Komets.
