Courtney, 27, has settled back in with the team he played his rookie season with a year ago.  Last week, the Belleville, Ontario native helped the Mavs to four wins with four goals and two assists to go along with a +3 rating.  The 6-3, 209-pound forward has goals in each of the last three Missouri games, the longest active goal streak in the league.

An all-star last season and a member of the 2012 CHL All-Rookie Team, Courtney began the season in the ECHL and then joined the Mavericks in early November.  The forward was held without a point in his first six games with Missouri (team went 2-4-0) but has six goals and four assists in his last eight games and the team has gone 7-1-0 in those contests.
