Sakhokiya, who gets limited icetime, came up big with an assist on the game's first goal -- the winning goal -- at 9:53 of the opening period. He later had the lone assist on a goal that made it 5-0 at 16:53 of the period.
The other draft-eligible player worth mentioning is Matthew Kellenberger of the OJHL's Oakville Blades. He scored on a power play at 1:38 of the third period to draw Oakville into a 1-1 tie with host Cobourg. The Blades settled for a 2-2 tie after two scoreless overtimes. Kellenberger, a defenseman overshadowed in the OJHL by potential first-rounder Jack McBain, has quietly recorded 14 points in 16 games this season.
