Considering how STRONG he was in a critical 1-0 victory over the visiting New York Islanders Saturday at the St. Pete Times Forum, McKenna may be sticking around for awhile. Luckily for him, his girlfriend hasn’t only made the trip from Norfolk, Va. to join him; she brought nearly his entire wardrobe with her.

“I think she brought as much as she could fit in the car,” a visibly emotional McKenna joked in the post-game locker room. “I figured if I was here long enough, I could just do some laundry. Now I won’t have to as quickly.”
